Happy to have lived on the planet at the same time as Dylan, Hiatt, Waits, Smithers and Aretha. Thanks for two of those five in one video! Don't miss Chris if he comes to your town. He gets better and better as the decades pass. One of the last great ones.

Me Too

The whole story is sadder. Suffice to say that if she got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, I'd wake with fear that I'd find her later in a pool of her own blood. I should/could write volumes.

[Taylor510ceL9]

I hope that you (and she) can work it out.

The Blue Guitar never ceases to amaze me. I weep when I hear this song. It was a close friend's dad's favorite song. He died shortly before I met her. We saw this together and I held her hand silently in the dark. I've loved her ever since even though we're not together.

Were you at this concert? I am glad that you like it. Have you told her how you feel?

Chris is IMO one of the very few people who can make a cover better than the original. What voice! A mix of gravel, smoke and whiskey. What fingers! Fluid, golden, perfect!

What a player, what a man brilliant, seen him three times in the uk he just blows me away

Yes, yes, yes! I had dinner with Chris one night before his gig; after the show we sipped tea, smoked hand-rolled cigarettes and played darts until the wee hours. A true gentleman and and a musician for the ages.

Dylon wrote this song for Smither. He just didn't know it at the time.

Chris is real. He's a student of human nature who presents his observations accompanied by a guitar. And we're all the better off for it IMO.

Saw him in a lil club in NY a few yrs ago,, and it was an enjoyable concert ,, but one thing that stiks with me is that after the show,, I had bought one of his CD's and was having him sign it and with all the ppl milling around he actually sat down and talked with me for a few minutes,, gave me the impression of a real gentleman ,, who actually sees his audience as real ppl

[william3231954]

I remember reading somewhere about the Stones and Dylan,, I don't recall what the article was about but one comment stiks in my mind,,,, " Dylan could eventually write Satisfaction,, but Jagger/ Richards could never write Desolation Row"
