This song is beautiful and haunting.

This guys a treasure Verlon Thompsons a name to remember

What a good loyal friend

I heard it told that ole Verlon comes from so far back in the woods even the Catholics handle snakes..you dig.....

I wanna make a record, but I ain't got no money...well, yeah!

Thank you.

I love hearing these stories, even if Verlon is just talking. To me this is spoken poetry.

Nice story! How can we live without Texas music ………❤

Thank you

I met Verlon in Texas, He is the most real man I have ever met. And a songwriter to beat all.

The kind of guy I want to know.

Pearls of wisdom. Thanks for sharing. Aloha from Hawaii, Thomas

I found Guys telephone number in a Texas arts/music book & called Guy to find out why he had not released any music in 11 years.A women answered the phone[susana?] & asked what I was calling about.I told her.I sat on hold for about 10 minutes before I hung up.About 3 months later Old Friends came out.I wish he would have picked up.I would have told him how important his music was to his fans.

When Guy decided to put together an ensemble to present his tunes, he tapped Pete Gorisch (bass player) and me. It was 1969. We played a series of gigs around town before he headed for Los Angeles, where he secured a writers contract and an advance that allowed him to move to Nashville. He visited us once and offered to submit any of my tapes to studio cats in Nashville, but I never did (there are 1,897 guitar players in Nashville - I figured they didn't need another one.) Besides, I had no tapes. I'm just a playing bum. I did teach his son Travis to play, which paid off later when he moved to Nashville and toured with Guy. IMHO, Guy never sounded better than when he played with Travis, whose vocal harmony lines were spot on, as were his very musical bass solos (Guy never played solos; he wrote tunes.) I was Guy's first guitar player.

To the thumbs down people ( I doubt that's what they are),,,,,,,,, up yours😁

Fantastic.

The barking dog somehow makes this story even better.

The WONDERFUL story I've often wondered about but never heard. Thank you! :o)

Great story from Verlon. ;)
