Jerry Jeff Walker - RIP

RIP Jerry Jeff .   Said hello to him once at a Pizza Hut at lunch in the community of Oak Hill in South Austin .

Well this sucks. So glad I got to have him and his music in my life. And glad he lived the live he did unabashedly. Got turned on to him by the great Bill Compton at the progressive KDKB radio in Phoenix/Mesa in the 70's before it went commercial. Luckily he came to town often at the Celebrity Theatre.  So many great songs to remember him by.

Jerry Jeff was in there on a "research project."

One of my favorite acoustic guitar solos ever in this version.

A beautiful tribute by Todd Snider last night.
