[@michaelmckenzie5232]

We lost the singer and writer this week .This tunes fueled my youth.Feeling old and vulnerable

[@kathyjacques2688]

Not that anybody cares but Jerry Jeff has got me through a lot of rough spots in my travels so embrace that mind set!

[@shagbarghhickory837]

I care, he did the same thing for me. I sang lots of his songs as I hitchhiked across the USA and Canada.

[@oprin10]

I am so devastated right now, I love you Jerry Jeff!

I knew a lot of "old five and dimers" when I was growing up in Wyoming in the early 70's. Hell, most everyone I new were "five and dimers." I had a lot of fun drinkin' and smokin' and fightin' with them. I always saw my self as being more than that, I'd show them. Some 45 years later, looking at myself, I can see "an old five and dimer is all I was intended to be." And.....that's alright. Goodnight Jerry Jeff where ever you are ol' boy, and thanks for all those eloquent words of inspiration over the years. I hung on every one of them.

The Gypsy Songman is gone now, but certainly not forgotten; what a huge bummer!

[@peterblackstock3124]

And now so is the writer of this song. Dang.

[@wavehead11]

I get the feeling he didnt do alot of second takes on his vocal tracks. They sound raw, real and real damn good.

[@Penthor]

That's the way a lot of JJs stuff sounds. That's the appeal. I grew with this stuff and keep going back to it.

[@Datballerqualin]

Hell Yeah !

[@TheJoseph2dogs]

the Man Who wrote alot of these old tunes has never got credit thank you Billy Jo Shavers

[@eclecticmusica]

Then at least get his name correct "Shaver". :-)

[@mikescourby]

I saw Jerry Jeff at the Lone Star Cafe in NYC in 1982, love him.
