[lefthooklyrics]

Superlative.

[coolanddark]

Thank you very much!! I appreciate that!!

[stewballmax3]

Say There

Gentleman Dan...

That guitar strummin' reminds me of Phil Ochs style of playing (yes,I pay attention to these things,Dan). You have made this song all the more haunting with the poignancy eminating from your soulful vocalizin'.

Pax,

Max

[coolanddark]

Thanks Max!!! Its my sad understanding that the great Phil Ochs hung himself with a geetar string. Such an incredible loss. Thank you!!! Townes songs seem to fit me alright but i get a little nervous covering one of my all time hereos.!

[identitytraveler]

this is a great one & i aint never heard it played better amigo

[coolanddark]

Thank you my friend Tom!!! I always think I can do it just a wee bit better but heck we aint getting paid or nothing just singing some tunes and swagging some brews. Thanks Amigo!!!
