I Played The Red River Valley…

…He'd sit in the kitchen and cry. The first lines to a song written by Guy Clark that I first heard performed by Jerry Jeff Walker. Desperados Waiting For a Train. It seems appropriate tonight.

    Weird. I have a bunch of Jerry Jeff Walker and Guy Clark albums. I figured they were long forgotten.

    Viva Terlingua is still one of my all-time favorite albums.

    I should really get it on CD, but somehow it wouldn’t be the same.

    Jerry Jeff is still played every few weeks at my home.
    I have two Viva Terlingua albums, one scratched to heck, the other nearly new. I bought a Radio Shack player and some special vinyl cleaner that makes old records sound like new, and it does, the sound booms out better than a CD.
    GruvGlide, works great. My wife complains because I drink more when Jerry Jeff is singing. But when Rolling Wheel comes on I got to be ready.
