This song has a Steven Foster/Mark Twain/ Riverboat era Americana quality to it. It's like a little one-act play about the days and times of two men meeting by worldly circumstance.
This is one of the most heartfelt versions I have heard. Wish they both could have been with us at the past two JJ tributes in Luckenbach. Maybe this August!
David, remember when you played at the theater in Newtown, NJ a few years ago and made political comments regarding your "race" and "immigrants" and said if "you didn't like that that night, you were only going to get worse?" It was essentiallty fdj stuff. Ive been seeing you for 40 years until that night. You never got "political" and always rocked. Well, remember all those fans who walked out on you? OPne was me. Is this situation today, especially Israel's, better than what you "hated?" You lost 50% of fans bro. Sorry it had to end that way, but you should just do what you do. Oh well.
