Townes was my neighbor growing up in C. Fla. RIP buddy you were loved

[Steven Hartman]

This song was written by Townes in his sleep as told by Guy Clark. He woke up one morning working on the melody at the kitchen table with the lyrics written on a piece of paper. Loup and Lil were his birds he kept with him. Just to clear things up on who's song this is.

[Wheelman stan]

I prefer Julia Robert's. That's the reason I tried to it. 

[NorweiganNarwhal]

Very good, I prefer Lyle Lovetts version though

I am not a guitarist,but i know the Zep song well.This is not even similar.The Zepp song is loud,fast,in your face,with a great drumbeat,and is a lament for Robert Plants dog.

Not sure who stole from whom but this is Bron Yr Aur pretty much note for note from Jimmy Page-everybody borrows from everybody. I am sure Jimmy got it from somebody else too :)- but listen to the Zep tune and its identical from Zeppelin but just a tad prettier actually

[Blake Hall]

10 people were not needed.

[MultiGollie]

No show, no glamour, he just closes his eyes and plays and sings with passion. That's music
