Sigh........ I've been feeln' this track for awhile now. Thank you JTE for penning a song that gives a sincere melody to depression. You're missed man. I'll stick around and fight through this. Stay here with us too folks. RIP.

Such a sweet lost soul. My husband, Scott introduced me to Justin after he built an acoustic guitar for him. I felt he was a force unlike no other. RIP JTE. Hope you make some glorious music with your namesake in the hereafter.

I am so pleased to see such kind words written here. He was truly a talented, gifted singer song writer. One time at Mucky Duck Houston Dawn Landes was with his group, and between songs she grabbed me and we danced while Justin was singing on the tiny stage. She was so sweet. My husband was so jealous HE didn't get to dance with her. It was a song called Can't Hardly Wait. She told me, I know the words, I wish he would let me sing with him on this tune. She was happy and smiling and we were just enjoying the music. You should go to Mucky Duck Houston! On Norfolk. The food is AMAZING! Some of the best food in Houston.

@@barbaratiemeier7631 'Jesus rides beside me, never buys any smokes' loved JTEs cover of The Replacements classic, always made it sound cool esp when he did it with the mandolin and fiddle, really made the little riff in there sound even better. I've seen a lot of vids with Dawn Landes, their voices complimented each other really well.

Looking at all these videos now, it’s crystal clear to me when he was clean and carefree, where it’s all so effortless and otherworldly (such as this one) - compared to others where he has that nervous caught-in-the-headlights, 5000 yard stare, now-what look? I prefer the former but maybe the songs were written in the latter??!? I’m so impressed, day after day, now that he’s gone. 🙏

@@dougdavis8986 'Rascal' applies perfectly here..and what about being 90 would make you more likely to use said word? Words have their meanings no matter what age you are, some change over time but most of them stay close to the original meaning. Considering you didn't know that you must be only 2? (Is that how your logic works?) I'm being facetious there's no logic at all to what you're saying ya knobjockey so stop getting your knickers in a twist. 😚
