What a treasure. This is now the song i sing and play every time i pick up my guitar.

You have to hunt far and wide to find this on radio. not that you would ever hear this classic on radio today.

This song is a lesson to all us songwriters because he uses more compact syllabification in the chorus than he does in the verses.

I remember meeting Jimmy more than once as a young man he would perform for my uncle and times I remember him being at the house or us at his house
