Brings back memories from 50 years ago when we would see and hear Townes in a tiny little coffee house in Houston, TX, Sand Mountain Coffee House. He would make us cry with sadness and then laugh with one of his talking blues, like “Thunderbird Wine.”

I miss the long tall cowboy looking guy.

I noticed that his picking wasn't in sync with the song, and continued after the song was done.
I misted up a bit when I watched that.
