My favorite Don Williams song.

I was able to hear him twice in concert - the first time was at the Bama Theater here in Tuscaloosa. The second time was just before he retired, over in Georgia. Going to hear him in person was like being invited into his den, or to sit on his back porch. He was very personal, very engaged with his audience.

“By the light of the radio by my bed, with Thomas Wolfe whispering in my head”

Awesome story. He had the smoothest voice and his simple illustrations really embraced growing up in the South. Wish I could have seen him perform. He’s a legend and one of my favorites. So much different than the Hick-pop garbage Nashville promotes today.
