This is on my very short list of perfect songs. I visited Alcatraz maybe 20 years ago. Everything you mention is what we were told and what I felt. The prisoners could hear music from the dance halls across the water. Not matter what brought them there, it must have been torture to hear the sounds of the free. Every time I play this it brings tears to my eyes. Simply beautiful.... perfect.
I wasnt born in time to go to a Marty Robbins concert. Here is the artist that is my " make good". Please come to MN when we are past these troubling times. Turf Club would love you!
This song is fantastic, I just love the sound - favorite from the record. I recently discovered you after you came up on my Spotify and really enjoy your music
