Man. What a gift. 53:10 minutes of the finest songwriter that ever picked up a guitar.

goddammit...
it's almost horrible to watch him: i feel so broken-down spiritually to think that the music i enjoy so much was borne from his pain.
i don;t know how to feel. i love his music, but i almost wish he'd never made it, if that makes sense.

A testament to a now sadly departed genius. Thanks for posting.

@gdkeen I so get your comment. I've feel guilt for enjoying his song writting genius born of pain.
-
@netw52 I agree with you 100%. The BEST, EVER.

@bro44201977 right there with you on that.

@gdkeen I know how ya feel, but I look at it this way. he is a blood brother (somehow and someway) I can be at my wits end...then seek out his words, his voice and am healed, knowing someone really has a clue, when it comes to the knowing a tortured soul. I found Townes just a few years ago and things don't take such a hold any more. I'm gratefull for his sacrifice...he'll lnow what I mean

@lGnossos Your point about art being a reflection of pain/struggle/nonconventional-
thinking notwithstanding [and obviously true], my enjoyment of Townes' music is still bittersweet. I guess there's nothing else to say about it, really. It's a beautiful, true, work of art and I guess it could only exist because the man lived the life he did.
The version uploaded here due to something within youtube. ustream.tv/recorded/676718 That is in sync.
