Great song! Sorry I quit refused to listen to the radio when disco came out. I didn't know there wear song writers like you and Guy Clark, and radio stations that played good music. I would like to have met you when I was in Nashville for 20 years.
Amazing song, It looks like he is reliving the moment when he first sings the words "Maybe it was Abilene", (3:30 ish minute mark). It must have been a long ride home! This song tells the story well, from a looking-back perspective! Thank you, Mr Thompson!
Talked to ya'll outside of the Grey Eagle in Asheville in NC. It was like i was talking to Mt. Rushmore. Thanks for all your creativity! You lives filled my heart and built my joy.
Thank you, Verlon. I remember when we met backstage at The Birchmere when you were traveling with Nancy Griffith. You gave us a tour of the Blue Moon Express, and we shared a joint with Guy and Nancy and others.
So glad I found you here on UA-cam. I think you played this @ The Red Dragon in Baton Rouge just after Guy’s death. It moves me now just like it did that night and every time I’ve heard you perform it. Please keep sharing on UA-cam while we struggle back to normalcy.
Lynn shared the link with Songbird. See your hair has been growing during the lockdown. Just got mine trimmed. Nancy and Joe suggested I let it grow so it was trimmed off the back of my neck. It felt like horse fly's buzzing me till it was cut. I got and watched "It All Begins with a Song", a couple of times. They didn't give you enough time in your segment. (my opinion). Take care. We appreciate everything you did for us at Songbird...
What a great tribute to a friendship. Verlon you were blessed to have had such a close friendship that lasted as long as it did. Sorry for your loss, but happy for the memories you had created together, and of course the great music that came out of the friendship.
What a beautiful tribute Verlon. Your talent for touching hearts and minds knows no bounds.
Verlon you are great. I loved you when you were with Guy and now that he's gone you are shining bright. I love your songs and you are great on guitar.
You are a musical treasure. Every aspect of your performances is polished and imbued with your rich history. Thank you for sharing that with us.♥
Very beautiful Mr. Verlon Thompson. Don’t know how you find the strength to continue without him but thank you.
Beautiful, Verlon. I treasure every memory I have of you and Guy.
Is it possible to NOT be a Verlon Thompson fan? Underrated by far too many.
There's a smile coming down from heaven.....
