Mickey Newbury's Final Performance, Part 1

I am so very proud to say Mickey Newbury was my friend. Shortly before his death in 2002, Mick invited me up to his home in Oregon for his final gathering of friends. These four songs are his final public performance. He wasn't at his best...but it's still PURE Newbury.

Such a great talent. What is that on his fretboard?

Still has his beautiful head of hair. Sure looks like he is having a good time. Music makes him shine.

Mickey at his worst was better than other's at their best...I have Frisco Mable Joy but believe it or not, my favorite album is actually "The Sailor". " The Night You Wrote That Song is Great! A big regret I have is never having the chance to meet the man... I put together a montage of pictures of our Pastor's son's military funeral to Mickey's American Trilogy on Youtube. His name was "Joseph Caskey". I won't post it since this page is for Mickey...Thanks for posting this, he sounds great!

To all of you, do yourselves a favor and buy his whole DVD collection. It is worth every penny. Many nights, I go to sleep with it on.

Playing this for a friend. Sorry you lost your friend!!

Huge loss. Mickey did so much to bring it in a real way to the masses. He'll be missed.

I can't even comment on how great this man was. This is my fav. song. You most certainly are singing for the Lord now. Rest, my dear brother. I look forward to the day I see you again.
