Thanks to Otis Gibbs and Townes van Zandt's Amsterdam show on YT, I started binging on Blaze Foley, one of Townes' good friends. An amazing and prolific songwriter, and not just a little...eccentric. This song hit me - (or maybe it'sthe Albanian beers), the guitarist hypnotic and the lyrics are heartfelt. This is literally one take, just wrote out the lyrics and figured out the chord structure while I was introducing it! 😜

2022 One Take series; pick up the guitar, and hit "record" for one go around - and see how it goes! No edit, no retakes, no amplification. My goal is to work through my playbook alphabetically (more or less) in the year, recording a video every day.
