Nice rendition. Thanks!!

[RickHempy]

@LouisGodena - Thanks Louis. Very much appreciated. Townes is right up there among my favorite songwriters of all time.

Very good rendition! Reminds me a lot of Guy's version, but very much your own. This is probably one of my favorite Townes songs, but gosh, it's hard to pick just one...there's so many truly great songs he wrote.

[RickHempy]

@goestoeleven2001 thanks for the kind words, and thanks for stopping by and listening. I know what you mean about picking a Townes song. Hard to do. He was a special guy.

Wow great version! You have a great tone, really similar to Guy.

[RickHempy]

Thanks Mike for the kind words - very much appreciated.

[RickHempy]

hey Harry - thank you so much. I really appreciate the kind words. Townes remaines an inspiration to me. Something about his music touches me like very few other can. Stay well my friend.
