I'm away from my home country (the UK) at the moment, but I just so hope I can be back there for October, when I believe Eric is playing a gig in Brighton. I'm currently in Lugano, Switzerland, and saw (here on Youtube) that he played not too long ago at Pescate, Lecco, Italy, which isn't so far from here: that I would have liked to have seen because it seems to have been a real 'intimate' gig.
This has got to be one of my favourite songs I've ever heard, along with 'Dean Moriarty'
@deborahkauffman09 we would probably recognize each other as I have been going there to see Eric since late 80's. Eric remains as one of my most favorite singer/songsmiths. Might venture down to Galveston soon to see him at the Old Quarter. I remember some incredible late evenings at the Fair with just a handful of people listening to the second set back in the early 90's. He would bring tears to my eyes...
I've seen Eric many times at Anderson Fair in Houston, he is wonderful live, once I requested an old song "Miss Virginia's Photographs", he asked me if I'd been away in jail, or maybe married, he's cool...
Saw him at a house concert a few years ago in High Springs Fl, sat right in front it was great , visit his website , get a house concert up its not that hard promote the man while his is still around.

This song is in DADGAD tuning and is pretty straightforward

Yeah, I think Lyle covered Eric on his "Step Inside This House" album.
As for his being married to Nanci Griffith: I believe she could probably be a little "high maintenance".
Nanci canceled a tour with The Chieftains once because the promoter wouldn't give her top billing. Go figure!

Taylor is one of the best songwriters ever to grace this planet. For the life of me, I can't understand why he isn't hugely popular.
