Texas in the 1970’s had so many great artist. Guy Clark , Jerry Jeff Walker, Rusty Wier, Shaver, Michael Martin Murphy, Ray Wylie Hubbard,Calico, BW Stevenson, Willis Alan Ramsey and many more. Just ask me where to start
"here's to you old Skinny Dennis..." refers to Skinny Dennis Sanchez (September 3, 1946 - March 20, 1975) who was a country musician in the Los Angeles area. He played the upright bass, most famously accompanying Nashville musician Guy Clark during Clark's stay in Los Angeles. His nickname is in reference to his having Marfan syndrome; Sanchez stood at 6'11", and weighed 135 lbs. Dennis died of a heart attack at 28 while on stage.
New artist for me, some of this song reminds me of " Rainy Day People" the Gordon Lightfoot classic and Guy does a great job of telling the story as well.The accompaniment is very enjoyable and so appropriate for Guy's vocals. Very enjoyable. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Lance. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Look up his stuff. IMO he doesn't have a bad song. If you get the chance listen to The Guitar . The one I told Harri about. I've been listening to him at least 40 years
