When I think of 3rd and Lindsley in Nashville,Tennessee in the 1990’s I will always remember “The Heartless Bastards”

Love when James pulls out that Guild. I remember first hearing this on the Covid dining table FB concerts.

Thank you for doing this. I miss Bill. During my initial years here at Texas State UPD, I got to know him and his wife. Amazing people.

[@JodyEwing]

Quite befitting for a man of so many talents. Thanks so much for writing this song and sharing it with those of us who truly admired and appreciated his works. I get the Wittliff Library newsletter (how I found this video), will be subscribing here, and still hope to visit the museum before time slips away. Gracias!
