Zurf - I am a huge Townes Van Zandt fan !   He was right there with Dylan
as a songwriter.
You did a fabulous cover of this.
OMG you fish with Wrecks !!  How fortunate are you.
I wrote a song about 7 years ago as a tribute to Townes after listening to an interview with him and Guy Clark. I will email it to you separate. I'd love it if you would share it with Wrecks.  If you were real motivated and had absolutely nothing to do someday, maybe you could give it a go.

For everyone else - Rex Bell, sometimes spelled "Wrecks" as a homophone for Rex, was a friend to Townes and an original partner of the Old Quarter. https://wrecksbell.com/bio
I sure love to fish you boys someday and chew the fat!
also, Steve Earle (who named his son after Townes)  also did a great cover of this.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FhjevjNLRQ   he talks about Townes before he sings - it's awesome !

Thanks for sharing Zurf

Jim

Very well done ! 

reminds me of Stevie Ray Vaughn     

Jeff  Picking up the guitar is always stress relieving for me - even if I m not very good at it.  It's like your lyric says - it often takes yourself somewhere.  Thanks for sharing ! Nice work .   Jim     

Jeff,

I am assuming this is about your special person.  A  fine illumination of how you see them in your life.  It flows nicely.
Might be a tad long, but if you're talking about the love of your life - it's worth every word!!

Nice work

Jim     

cool Scott - Can't wait to hear it !     

Nice pic Graham !!     

I'm actually getting close to where I really like this song.
A few more practice days and I might learn the words. ( it would be easier if I would quit changing them !   )

I won't record it bc it is a duet.  I may ask my friend and his wife to record it - they are pretty good. I just have to convince them it is a decent song.

I'd like to see it and hear it.

How did you come across this bargain ?

Jim     

Mojo I changed it up, but thanks for the inspiration.
Phill  as always your astute observations are always appreciated

If you have further suggestions let me know.

now all i gotta do is find a woman to sing that part !       

I further edited this duet changed a few words and chords.

But sorry Phill - I only made a minor  change in that line
It is definitely written as a country song and I think it fits.
Maybe our Texas friend Mojo can give some input as to that line.

Thanks for checking it out .

Jim     

Scott

That is awesome.
like to hear your version
