Rest in peace James. Sure wish I'd had an opportunity to meet you. And my book one of the best bluegrass singers and writers that ever lived. Miss hearing new music everyday.
James was a legend that didn't get the recognition he deserved. He played a festival for me not long before he passed, as sick as he was he still insisted on finishing his set. Never forget him
Though I thought I had closed it So tightly before I can't understand it Why it should bother my mind For it all belongs to another place and time Just a few old keep-sakes Way back on the shelf No, they don't mean nothin' Well I'm surprised they're still left Just a few old love letters With the edges all brown And an old faded picture I keep turned upside-down Just a few old memories Going way back in time Well I can hardly remember I don't know why I'm cryin' I can't understand it Well I'm surprised myself First thing tomorrow morning I'll clean off that shelf Just a few old keep-sakes Way back on the shelf No, they don't mean nothin' Well I'm surprised that they're left Just a few old love letters With their edges all brown And an old faded picture I keep turned upside-down
Thanks, HMC! Love his singing and playing!! Of course, miss King King the most!! Thanks for posting this clip. I watch it several times each and every week!
