Dang ... this computer for some reason doesn't do videos when it doesn't please, so I can't listen to that tune (I'm listing currently to Stephane Grapelli doing Django tunes on my CD, anyway) ... "Pancho and Lefty" is one of the most beautiful, haunting, heart-rending and soul-strengthening melodies ever sung. WHAT IS IT about that song?????

I don't even know the words to it. I don't even know what emotions or images it tugs in me. I only know that they run deep and the song puts me in reverie for awhile, reverie about the beauty of life.

Was married to a pro musician for a few years in my mindless youth who told me that no matter how nuts the crowd, how drunk, how rowdy, how tired, if the band played "I'm so Lonesome I Could Cry," it was like a lullaby. It is a brilliant song.

Music is very powerful indeed.
