Blaze Foley - June or September

[@jasoncrowley1265]

How have I lived 40 years and never herd this man?

[@gavinwynkoop-fischer5744]

How have you lived 40 years and still misspelled "heard"?

[@matthewjensen4415]

Jason Crowley same here Brother but I’m 38 tho

[@travisharper3107]

Just found him myself and I just turned 43 last week. I was checking out John Prine's new music & he popped up 3 beers later I'm hooked .

[@guyman6385]

same here , I thank John Prine for covering some songs that I wasn't aware at the time they were covers and Mike Judge for his tales from the tour bus series.

Just want to dance the waltz on a sawdust floor only a candle to light the way such Beautiful music

[@johnnyp8979]

Every now a new BLAZE song pops up, that makes me happy 😁

[@jamestillman5546]

How wonderful to just tell her you don't remember where or when. That don't matter, that you remembered at all does. Bless you . Blaze on.

[@richardpatureau3980]

Did some gigs with Blaze back in the 80’s. He was one of the strangest dudes I ever met. Never could figure out if he was crazy or a genius. The genius let him do more with three chords than anyone I ever knew. The crazy got him killed.

[@kyleperry3748]

Really you did some work with him??

[@richardpatureau3980]

Kyle Perry indeed I did. It was back in the 80s in Austin. I was a moderately successful songwriter playing the Austin songwriter “circuit “ as we called it. Split a couple of gigs with him and other locals. He was a weird dude but had the touch.

[@kyleperry3748]

@@richardpatureau3980 no kidding that is cool, they did an independent film on Blaze fairly recently and ive wondered how well they portrayed the real man but i guess movies never really get it down 100% anyway. Were you ever around Townes?

[@richardpatureau3980]

Kyle Perry yes I was. One of the saddest cases I have ever seen. Amazing talent brought down by alcoholism. Last time I ever saw him he was passed out in the corner of a bar on 6th street in Austin.

[@kyleperry3748]

@@richardpatureau3980 wow absolutely incredible that you were around some of the greatest talents country music has ever had. If you ever write anything about more stories of your times in Austin let me know. Thank you for this conversation Sir!

[@rhondajohnson6266]

Perfect in every way

[@rinacarty6874]

I've just got to know this amazing artist. His music is astoundingly good. So sad that he is no longer with us but at least we have this wonderful music to remind us of a great talent that left this world far too soon. R.I.P. Blaze. Gerry Farry.

[@seancrutcher525]

The most beautiful singing and song writing anybody could ask for

[@Prescott122]

Wanted to tell you that I read the TX Monthly article today and your entries were just so beautiful to take in. I appreciate the way you were so willing to go to that place in your heart and invite us along for the journey, really I do. Your joy in this project is palpable, be blessed.

A walking contradiction partly truth partly fiction-thats Kris Kristofferson quote bit it sure fits well don't it

[@billbutler7551]

BEAUTIFUL ❤

[@earlduke9765]

While I have my favorites I pretty much listen to all genres. It's like mining for gold, every once in a while I find a nugget in all the crap. Some genres just have more crap than nuggets of gold. I've never understood how anyone can listen to the same thing, or eat the same food every day, or drink the same beer. Too much good stuff out there to limit yourself.

[@samuelleake9213]

i like this !

[@martinpotts6925]

A kindred spirit

[@robertmiller4993]

Yes...Blaze is a nugget from the past..

[@ianpeterson9189]

Devon Sandner stfu, all his friends and his former life said he was a “genius loser” because he always had a tendency to mess everything up. He was amazing, the guy doesn’t deserve death, lol your sped

[@ThinkingCap_]

@Devon Sandner shadap silly man you regret this comment

[@FormulaMonte]

@Devon Sandner Are you okay? Do you need someone to talk to?

[@robertmiller4993]

@Devon Sandner no, he was never famous...brilliant fellow, but not really known during his time...

[@jayscraggs6320]

@Devon Sandner damn dude you really dropped the ball on that comment lol

[@michaelzinc1]

Perhaps if you were cattle you would have "herd" of him. Now that we know you're a human who enjoys great music, I'm sure you're proud that you've "heard" of and listen to him. Blaze is a hero

[@timothythompson9837]

Good old Blaze

[@bubsd487]

It was June or September, don't rightly remember First time I laid eyes on you It was June or September, Seattle or Denver First time I laid eyes on you You wore black silky stocking with a seam down the back Your dress it was split to your thighs And your hair was a place for a dozen red roses After it smothered your side And you dealt in the card games in smoky saloons Mornings you saw the sun rise But as you soon I’d leave you I'd look to your photographs Teardrops would swell in your eyes There were three tiny daughters that lived with your mother You only wanted their best But you could not give them the things that you wanted to You only wanted their best It was June or September, don't rightly remember First time I laid eyes on you It was June or September, Seattle or Denver First time I laid eyes on you

Don't feel bad, it took me 76 years.

[@FitzFS]

I'd like to record my version of this but I'm having trouble with the lyrics, I can't hear a lot of what he says and wouldn't want to risk by singing it wrong. Does anyone have the lyrics for this?

[@mlwsf]

Found them posted on Google a waltz with C F C, C G7 C chord structure. It was June or December Don't rightly remember the first time I laid eyes on you. It was June or December Seattle or Denver the first time I laid eyes on you You wore Black silk stockings with a seam down the back Your dress was split to your thighs And your hair was a place for a dozen red roses After it smothered your side You dealt in the card games in smokey saloons Haunted you saw the sun rise But as soon as I leave you I looked at your photograph Teardrops would swell in your eyes There was three tiny daughters that lived with your mother You only wanted their best But you could not give them the things that you wanted to You only wanted their best It was June or December Don't rightly remember The first time I laid eyes on you It was June or December Seattle or Denver The last time I laid eyes on you.

[@NeanderThal44]

The beatles are great, they were lucky enough to be recognized though at the right time. There music was displayed before any other act at one time, and maybe that wasnt right, other people needed that recognition. The beatles were part of a new movement also, so it isnt really fair to use them as an example. Music was different then also, the top 40 charts were many different genres of music, now it is only a few genres, that all sound the same.nowdays pop artists arent musicians beatles were.

[@johnrowan7288]

neander, Great comment, thanks for the insight.

[@nikvable]

@HumanAccount usually those songs, real songs with real music and lyrics, dont have any of these you said...its bad but its true..today's music you see....

[@ianjames5244]

it was December

[@kdocki]

@iiskoalii why can't they listen to both? Some hip hop songs do have good lyrics, others don't. Good meaningful lyrics don't always make it to #1 on the hip hop (or country) charts though... example: red solo cup... lol... I guess catchy one-liner phrases just stick with more people.

[@TimmyCommerford]

Fuchsia commercials

[@gnarlyTHRASHER]

@iiskoalii Pop music in general. Aparently you have to dumb it down and loose the meaningfulness of a song to make the public like it! Thats why all the good music is in the underground.

[@iiskoalii]

@nikvable ik this is the kind of music kids these days need to listen too and not that hip hop stuff

[@TheMarbleIndex3000]

@gnarlyTHRASHER you think the beatles are not good music? I think they are pretty fucking mainstream. For you to imply they aren't good because they are popular...well that's just silly.

[@craiglockwood9101]

The beatles were good, but they were no velvet underground.
