Mostly to myself. I was late discovering TZ. It was the tribute CD "Poet" that hooked me. Since 2002 I have been a devoted fan of the songs and amazed how many covers by my favorites were his. I first found it via Don Williams. We have moved to TX 3 times in the past 54 years. The Texas Music is the best. PS that Chicago Mailman is also a favorite. My wife and I make long road trips in retirement Story Tellers pass the time.

I think he is a truly great American poet.<br />Steve Earle has a CD of Townes songs..it is a great tribute to Steve's mentor.<br />Steve wrote a tribute song to Townes called "Fort Worth Blues"..it is on YouTube - sitting next to Steve is wonderful Nanci Griffith who sings "Tecumseh Valley" another of Townes songs.It is very moving viewing-during Steve's song,the camera shows tears rolling down Nanci's face - just as happened to me.<br />His sad life is over but he will never be forgotten and simply be cherished as a very rare talent.<br />Thank you from the Southern coast of Australia.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13112301423107240169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610750674110941068.post-45266294284918282352010-07-04T02:15:02.186-05:002010-07-04T02:15:02.186-05:00Hey, thank you for this.
