Having had the opportunity to play with Verlon for a shorttime in Colorado in the mid '70's, it is always a great pleasure to see what a Country icon he has become. All the very best Verlon!

As a 28 year old man who has been playing guitar and singing since I was 12, I can relate to the feeling of being in a guitar store or a pawn shop and picking up an instrument that you just get lost in. It's been a few years since i've experienced that feeling, but this song did something to me and brought me to tears. Tears of joy. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for writing and playing this song. Cheers!

I found this amazing corner of music through Foley a couple years ago and Im slowly uncovering more and more people that all seem to be interconnected. Can anyone here give me some more names to listen to? And a history lesson if you’d be down lol. If im not mistaken, they’re all from austin? but aside from that Id love to learn more. This is absolutely the best music ive ever listened to.

Was on a project long ago. Walk in on the rest of the team. "We just can't fix it without washers. Have to send someone to the town for some" Me: "I have washers." "We've been working on this for days! Why didn't you say?" "First I'm hearing about it." Always let people around you know what you are looking for.
