My Old Man | No.4 - Anchor Point

[@gagedbrown]

JT speaks about his dad with such wisdom and forgiveness. my dad’s parenting style is similar to townes’ and it’s been hard for me to achieve the level of forgiveness shown here. jt seems like a grade a human being.

[@troyhogarth8793]

Gage Brown In many ways, our parents are doing the best they can with what they’ve got. Sometimes we can’t see it or we might not be able to understand it, but we all have our demons. Some demons are bigger than others.

[@Gabucks1]

Had to come back 4 years later. The story really speaks to you.

[@billtomlin798]

I was going to bed but I decided to watch one last video, then I watched it four more times. This story is me and who I want to be all at once. Thank you for sharing.

[@davethomasthedreamteam9418]

The way he describes the hyper focus really resonates with me. Its exactly what I love about fishing; when you're fishing, you're doing just that, you're just fishing.

[@MrLarrygwalker]

Your dad’s songs meant more to me than I can express .

[@FISHANE84]

"Be a fuckin man" Love it...

[@Halliday55]

And then go to bed early, wake up, and do it again.

[@AdamsOlympia]

​@@Halliday55 Go to sleep and wake up early and do it again.

[@WhiteBuffalo032]

JT is amazingly poetic himself. Fishing with JT is on the bucket list for sure.

[@missinipemagic8951]

didn't have my kids til my 40's. Best thing I ever did, for them and for me. I love my girls more than anything in this world.

[@deanwhiston6180]

This is the best video I've ever watched. This and Watchtower over Turkey. The story, the music, the way it was filmed and edited. I regularly come back and watch this. Well played to the film maker.

[@creeperjeeper94]

JT is the real deal. Always grateful for his insight. I’ve loved Townes for years but recently my admiration has shifted to JT. Understanding that you can appreciate the art Townes was able to make but still be realistic about who he was. Thanks for your perspective JT.

[@Cinnamombunz]

Oh, how I wish J.T. would see this. The last time I saw him was at Executive Surf Club in Corpus Christi. That was the last time I saw Townes, too. I sang a song to Townes that I had written for him years and years before... don't know if J.T. would remember that. I have just the greatest respect for J.T. and what he's accomplished in his life ... he parlayed that hand he was dealt into a real winner. And now I'm gonna go hunt for a tissue. Much, much love, kiddo. Well done.

[@jimparks1102]

And oh, how I'd love to hear your song. Is it on KZbin?

[@1walkerw]

As eloquent and insightful as his father. What men.

[@DillonG71]

you can tell everyone involved in the making of this feels the same magic in life that townes used to write his songs, artists.

[@herbyparker8284]

I discovered Townes about 5 years ago after hearing a local musician in Kinsale, Ireland singing Pancho & Lefty. I've listened to his music everyday since. I discovered J.T on KZbin very recently and I'm really impressed at his maturity, clarity, passion and love for his family. I started my own family at a similar age and I can relate -

[@rafakru5815]

it is for this that we Poles love you Americans. To the human heart. Keep it up

[@jmumz2028]

I just shared this with the many father figures in my life. Went through my Rolodex and shared it with all of em’. This video brought back so many good and bad memories. From spending time with my father. Life is a little bit sweet and a little bit bitter. Love this video. I’m gonna watch this on a weekly basis to remind me. Why I’m trying to be a better father than mine was 🔥

[@artwilmeth6944]

Thanks JT FOR a beautiful tribute to your Dad.

[@giffish84]

What a great way to honor life. Accepting what your given and making the most of it. Particularly liked "be a fucking man!" Everyday. Cheers!

[@danilapalermo7404]

Words cannot describe hoe beautiful this was. Touched my heart.

[@Name-so9ns]

this is such a wonderful epilogue to TVZ's tragic story. proud of you JT

[@mikehowle]

Wow. He looks just like his dad.

[@tommacdonald1856]

How many of us who grew up to a single mom wishing there dad was around could learn to love and cherish life from listening to this man

[@stanokeefe2713]

Thanks JT, your dad is up there smiling. Your a good man and one hell of a guide

[@JonWhitexas]

Wisdom. From a tough road. J.T. is a very impressive man.

[@johnnorth2616]

John you have more peace in your life ... than your father. It's a blessing

[@RobertRussell-ed1xy]

I’ve watched this a dozen times, it’s emotional award winning stuff. Thanks

[@Theodore-n3b]

This always hits me in the heart and gut. JT, thanks for being open and honest, I’m glad you found your own passion. Very powerful and moving video.

[@mikepapienuk1040]

All i can say is " Your Pops killed it, I listen to everything he did"

[@altar7885]

Yeti, I'd never heard of your brand or seen any of your products, but thank you.

[@carrollhill6117]

Makes me proud to own a Yeti. I would have never seen these great stories.Thank you Yeti

[@michaelmillan9615]

Goosebumps every time at the end

[@tripp8833]

This is the first ad that will work on me... I'm such a big TVZ fan, and his son seems so cool, I will actually buy a yeti product ...

[@TheColonel1123]

Excellent subject, excellent story, and excellent work to the team making this.

[@GPsgurl80]

Oh that tune at 5:59....gets me every time. "I'll Be Here in the Morning"

[@americanfisherman9781]

This is a quality short doc. The fact that It's about the son of Townes and it is surrounded by fly fishing is pretty amazing!!

[@jross3030]

Beautiful words JT, motivating.

[@HekkIsBurning]

Thanks for the advice JT, specially now that I'm a dad myself... your father would be so proud.

[@michaeljans5382]

a really nice guy - his father would be very proud of him to hear him now

[@marcusruiz2971]

As a father of three tiny kids, trying to be the best creative he can be, this was heartfelt.

[@slappy442]

I had this saved on my playlist watch later for a long time i just wasn’t ready for it until 8 minutes and 2 seconds ago. Was surprised to see who it was and who is father was. Great video.

[@wadecollier4757]

Loved watching this video. You are wise, J.T. I am sure your dad would be so proud. Thanks for sharing.

[@alexroberts6359]

Geez! This Guy sure gets it!! 👍🙏🏻

[@townesblues8877]

Thank you for sharing your story JT.

[@thomastabares8631]

His perspective is a beautiful story. Love this guy.

[@dronedruid153]

Thank you JT, this is beautiful.

[@mattyoung1953]

this is stunning.. thank you to everyone involved in this.

[@FlakoFishing]

Inspiring in so many ways!

[@manueljaramillo7035]

I always watched JT’s fishing videos and thought you looked just exactly like van zandt, now I know why! 😂 I am a huge fan of both of you! Keep em’ coming!

[@saltwatermadness7495]

That end😢

[@Bsalty1975]

I so needed to see this video again, thank you for your warmth and strength!🙏🤙

[@josephalston3214]

The redemption of the father Lives in the son, The son lives in the mothers heart, And mother she loves them both And keeps us afloat Through all our manly mistakes Made at night, Until the morning. ❤️🔥

[@kellyhall9861]

Knew JT long ago as a family friend. So proud of the outstanding man he has become. Great words and great video. Well done!

[@susandettra6431]

Beautiful..... Could save someone years of therapy, so insightful.....

[@tbone9347]

This was awesome. The word awesome really pales in comparison in trying to describe this.

[@holdenroberts7612]

I hope this lives forever.

[@Fishcamp]

Incredible story and so well told and captured!

[@stpaul69]

I was loaned a Van Zandt album in my mid 20s by a crazy, bearded guy who came into the bookstore where I worked. I was a young hippie kid, who'd never heard anything like that. What a great way to reconnect to Townes' legacy, and know more about his son. Now I'm older, I fly fish and this really short really made my think about my own legacy and my own father. Thank you.

[@turdferguson2982]

I don't think I'd ever loan any of my Townes albums out. That guy must be some kind of a saint.

[@Greedilox]

I needed this today. If J.T does see this I fuckin vow to met him and Alvin Dedeaux someday and thank them for being an example of what a real man can be when he has true passion for life and living. My sons will know of them and how they inspired me to continually be a better father, husband and of course a passion for fly fishing. ;)

[@jasoncbrothers]

Love this video JT.

[@jeremycunningham8941]

Maybe the best thing I've ever seen!

[@Bsalty1975]

I loved this one, its speaks to my soul and connects me with my father!

[@jonnygranville281]

God this is just beautiful. So inspiring

[@KTMSparky]

Thanks so much for this upload that was amazing to see

[@waylonk378]

[@benjaminhewes6029]

Best ending of all time

[@mrnutterbutterdude]

Beautiful

[@cslafuria]

Outstanding.

[@mulletmama88]

I would love to shake JTs hand. I have a deep love for his fathers music, but i would have never wanted him as my dad. I had a bit similar, but not as extreme. JT seems to have a real sound head and heart.

[@jeremiahabreu9616]

Incredible.

[@tommyp4728]

this is awesome.

[@GrahamByrne63]

[@mullarky]

So awesome.

[@_rrascal]

Rad video. Random question. @5:13 anyone know what kind of hat that is?

[@markcavazos1608]

Patagonia Hat

[@dubdub4862]

Love this!! I met Townes at a songwriter night I was playing at Douglas Corner in Nashville. May of '95. He complimented our round and I was stoked! So interesting and great to see where JT has landed and is thriving as a craftsman in his own right and at the center of his gifted-ness!.... Beautiful video.

[@mikebirong9992]

Foxy seems like a pretty chill dog. I was surprised that she kept her balance on the boats. She looks like a herder. Aussie mix?

[@zanemitchell9760]

It’s a blue heeler

[@oldnrone]

Wonderful!

[@MrKarlheinz21]

brilliant!

[@paulmattingly5823]
