I think that first show I saw him at was in '81.
It is mystifying how 'success' can elude some people. But I am sure Delbert has done very well over the years! and of course 'success' is relative.

Yeah I’m old I played in a little band back in those days and heard about Delbert McClinton through some people went to see him on a little Honky Tonk outside of Fort Worth .
