A toast to Townes from those who were blessed with his appearance at the Flora Bama Lounge. To Townes and Mickey, may you stay forever young, and may the young stay within the beauty of your soul. ... Shu

Gosh I miss him. What a talent. What a tortured soul. What an early loss of a wonderful, talented artist.

there is a cut at 02:53. is there a version without it?

[johnny576375]

@NickeyWhitfield Sadly no, I've searched for other transfers and come up empty. This was taken from a vinyl bootleg (if I remember the source details correctly) and just happened to skip a little.

[NickeyWhitfield]

@johnny576375 Shame. I love this version.

The Great Great Townes, wish I had met him, Just once, just once....

[MickeyNewburyMusic]

...of course he quoted it correctly, "...makes her hair 'seem' a soft golden rainfall."

@MickeyNewburyMusic Your father was my favorite. Song for Susan and Cortelia Clark are my very favorites. I sure have had a lifetime of enjoyment listening to his songs.

[MickeyNewburyMusic]

I once asked my dad who his favorite writer was. He sat there for a second, then said:

"The brown of her skin makes her hair a soft golden rainfall that spills from the mountains to the bottomless depths of her eyes."

I've loved Townes ever since, and regret never meeting him. My father was no slouch either.
