@karrieamettis I met him on a cruise a couple of years ago. He was skittish as all hell. Artistic genius will have its quirks!
-
I like that David seems to know who Townes is.

@garywhite67 "Best" songwriter is a matter of oopinion and personal taste. Personally, Hank Williams, Steve Earle, Kris, and Townes are my favorites but sometimes im more in a mood for Kris than Townes and vice versa. Townes was easily one of the best, possibly the best. I prefer much of his stuff to Kris' but as i said, its purely opinion.

I am no expert, but I know Steve has a signature Martin M-21, and believe that is what he may be playing here.
-
what type of martin guitar is steve earle playing?

"Townes Van Zandt is the best songwriter in the whole world and I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that." - Steve Earle

@johnnycanada Sure he talks a lot of Politics, but wouldn't it be cool to spend an hour or 2 talking 1 on 1 with Steve? No one else around, no cameras or mic's.
