    Saw you in Savannah in August. You reminded me of an ex I lived with when I was 17. Watching you his spirit came through and I forgave him. It inspired me to respond to a message he had sent me back in April, which I was ignoring. We are now talking about getting married. Thank you James. You and your music performed a miracle for this girls love story that has been 30 years in the making. Forever grateful.

  • @we2todd2did
    @we2todd2did 3 роки тому

    I'm confused about the second stanza.. is there an alternate version or did he not look up the lyrics?
    "I was a sailor
    I was born upon the tide
    And with the sea, I did abide
    I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
    I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
    And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
    But I am living still"

    • @EzaVinylAddict
      @EzaVinylAddict 4 роки тому +1

      He does four distinct voices like the highwaymen had four individual parts. Willie. Kris. Waylon. And Johnny. It's clear as day.

    @robertlloydmusic 5 років тому +1

    Great imitation of Willie, etc... but James, cut the cover tune garbage and be the best you can be. Heck, I've got a ton of hits you could sing. You are great... God has blessed you with talent, so don't waste it on covers. Let others do that.

      We’ll have some more original stuff coming this fall/winter but right now we're focusing on the George Jones Tribute Album.

    The guitar is really good. The voice is mechanical and stilted, and you botched the lyrics of the second verse.
