An amazing musician, songwriter and friend ...
 ... I miss him SO much!
His life was so FINALLY on track when he departed... Townes was so happy w/ his life, at last ... Maybe that is the best time to translate!? Any other Townes fans here on Mingle? I saw "Crazy Heart" last night, produced by T~Bone Burnett w/ songs written by T~Bone ... The film played one of my favs of Townes', one of his very best!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YdRHIKM9YE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSAQFMuh5i0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2LXiYjk8V0 Emmy Lou Harris' tribute cover, when he died, followed w/ Townes ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SysBazd50D8 The film was superb, SO reminded me of a Texas Minstrel Bard's life ... ... Think it was a conglomerate aggregate person, homage to them ALL ... Reminded me of so many of my Texas musician friends and the brutal life on the road ... ESP. Townes!  ... Rest in peace and song, dearest Townes ... 
EDIT ... See the film! |
