Wow, great story telling, Mr. H! With the rhythm of your guitar and the ringing of your strings it's easy to envision ol' J.J. at his Voss paying for those words "like a dogface paid for ground." Simply great! Hey, is there a story/song about that picture peeking over your right shoulder? - Mark
Thanks for the kind words, Mark (and everyone else, too...) As for the picture -- as it happens, that's a picture of Jones and Lowney Handy standing outside Jones' house in Robinson. Or at least I think it was in Robinson. Might've been Marshall. I found the photo online a couple of years back and printed it out 'cause I thought it looked cool. I didn't even think about it being there when I filmed the tune....
David! Another great ballad. Wish I had a CD of your music to pop into the player....your music makes for great company when travelling. Any word on that A&E thing?
great song!

By the way James Jones is my all time favourite writer and was looking for something on him, yet couldn't find much
