So glad to see this piece on Vince Martin. He's a great man and an immensely talented artist. His recent gig at Banjo Jim's was a revelation. His voice and musical spirit is still strong. Chicks still dig him, too!

...This song was a favorite when I first heard it all those years ago, and it's still a favorite.
I love hearing Vince Martin sing it, and I love hearing Vince Marcellino tell the story of how this all time classic song came to be. It's fascinating and wonderfully real...!!
