Okay, just found the old Joe Hinton version that first introduced me to it. He does it as an 'old-school' R&B ballad. He hits a couple of notes (especially at the end) that probably sounded like Don when he broke his toe .

Very nice rendition vocally and instrumentally!
Blessings Don

Don I gotta tell ya you never sounded better then on a Ketron unit.....
yes there is a big difference in Live Sound.

Yes, I wish things had worked out differently but they didn't.

Don, never heard this one before today. What a heart rendering song. It really triggered a lot of emotion for me.

Thanks for posting, but I seriously doubt that I could possibly sing this one without emotionally falling apart.

All the best,

Gary

Gary, now you see what I mean about Willie's songwriting skills.

What Chas doesn't know is that I personally taught Willie all he knows about songwriting.
Yes I did. Then came the guitar lessons I gave him. I thought he would never learn all those passing chords. He actually wore a hole in his guitar doing it.
Next came his stage appearance. I told him he needed an outlaw image so he let his hair grow long and got a bandana. By then he was so worked up I told him to calm down and he started smoking weed. In an effort to steer him away from that I taught him to play golf.
Only questionable thing is I told him don't worry too much about income tax.
Another little known fact: Willie has actually been dead for three years, but nobody has told him yet.
(It's MY thread and I can take it South if I so desire.)

You didn't take it south....that way up North funny.

Willie's studio is on his golf course. He calls it "Cut & Putt"
