the hubby and i heard him on the radio many years ago, and just had to go and see him as soon as we could, after buying some of his cd’s and then saw him at wolf trap in vienna va, loved it! this is our fav song of his.
I do enjoy the richness and insight in Chris Smither's songs. It makes one ponder.... Many thanks to Alternate Roots Extended Play Sessions available for public viewing. It's so nice to be able to re-live the wonderful evening of music.
just saw him on Friday in Greensburg, PA (his third show there over the years). He does an interesting intro where he recounts having Alan Toussaint play piano for the album version of this song. It's on my UA-cam channel. I also posted (a while back) lo-rez video of the original "Okra salesman" intro from 2002, along with a 2009 version fo this song that's pushing 40,000 views .
