F*ck it. Do you like this song?

I like to pretend to by cocky now and again. Actually, my favorite version is by EmmyLou Harris.

Actually, I didn't write that until I redid the post. The first time I tried, I was perfectly humble. Maybe God IS trying to tell me something. Don't be humble. Be a jerk.

@TheSojourner Sigh.

In My Hour of Darkness is a beautiful song and EmmyLou and Gram do a wonderful job with it. Thanks for the compliment. Sorry to burden you. I know you've heard my Pancho and Lefty many times before. I was just pissed off that my post disappeared. I'll look for your post on Parsons.

@TheHorse You didn't burden me. A good song can always take a second listening.

@TheHorse — I could see you doing “ Tecumseh Valley" well.

Sorry, I was half asleep when I first red your comment. That fella Villages Con Pants has some certain skills, yes. He shoulda drunk more Gatorate and less Scotch. Wait.That goes for me too.

I want to do "If I Needed You." I've done it at "jams" but I've never recorded it.

The first I heard was by EmmyLou Harris.

@spiderdust I can link you if you don't find it. It's my favorite version and the one that "turned me on to" the song.

@TheHorse I'm not sure if I've heard the Emmylou Harris one before. I'm sure I must have at some point in my life. I'll go listen to it now.

My mistakes? Oh, heck no. I hope you liked the song.

@TheHorse haha I'll check it

@Butterfingers It's fun to to hear the original.

It happens now and then. My anger and frustration have subsided. Now I'm just hungry!

@123carford1 I hope you enjoyed the song.

@TheHorse well, that's good keep it up, and you should satify your hungerness and not to be angry.lol.

@TheHorse that had to be pretty amazing

@Jessicalynnt It really was. It was back in the day, and she had her Hot Band with her both times.

I love her voice. I'm blessed to have seen her in concert a couple of times.

@DianneN He's a good storyteller. I did the story of the Heffalump (a Pooh story) on his radio show back in the day.

Funny story. I was hiking with my buddy, Michael Katz. We were "climbing" Eagle Peak, near Mt. Diablo. I was in the lead, and he said, "Colin, I think you just stepped over a rattlesnake on the trail." I looked back, saw the snake with his mouth open, and fell backwards over a rock. I then went back toward the snake, who was a "juvenile," perhaps two feet long, with only one or two "rattles" to his credit. I am fascinated by ethology, or animal behavior. I grabbed a piece of scrub and "encouraged" him off the trail. He rattled once, briefly, and slithered into the brush. He then coiled in a defensive position, but did not rattle again. I truly believe he understood, in his tiny brain, that Michael and I were not a threat to him. It was then that I snapped the picture you saw. And heck yes, I'll promote my buddy, Michael. I'll provide a link to his website. Many of the stories I told at the preschool in Berkeley, including "The Man Who Could Not Sleep," and "The Stonecutter," came from him.

@TheHorse That’s one heck of a snake story, but no can do. Michael is worth promoting!

Heh heh. Thanks. I first heard it on an EmmyLou album back in the '70s. I saw her do it in concert with her "Hot Band" and was just as captivated. I don't think I knew who Townes Van Zandt was at the time.
