Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Harlan Howard... talking about Tootsie's and songwriting

What a funny funky bunch of amazing songwriters! Makes me laugh a lot. I wished I had that fun at work :-D
OK, sometimes I have ... maybe ...

Willie would make a nice teacher... not waiting longer than three seconds for an answer, "Well, you had your chance..." I really laughed a lot ...

This song "One time at a time, sweet Jesus", that Marijohn Wilkin wrote with a little help of Kris - this is an amazing song, really beautiful ...
That's the story about her song told by Maryjohn Wilkin:
She phoned Kris, who just was in town with Rita, that she had the second verse and the chorus of a new song but could not come up with a suitable opening. When she showed him how she started the song, "I'm just a mortal..." he looked at her, "Why don't you say, I'm only human, I'm just a man..." She, "That's good! That's what I need." And they finished the first verse in about 20 min. "The lines just flew out from each of us."

And this Harlan Howard song is just great too ... ("Pick me up on your way down")

@cataloni10 This is about songwriting, you should listen more carefully to them... I didn't know that Elvis ever sang Kris' song "For the good times"...
