Cold on the shoulder
His work was fantastic.
Have been feeling his passing for the last 2 days— and went to pull out a CD, from thousands in the library— just blindly pull one out, and it was this wonderful Rounder album.
The “sound that went around our song” was Tony— many friends of mine from his family, and we commed once or twice on timepieces. He tinkered and repaired Accutrons.
He was a musician... even more than a guitarist. And few know of the songs he wrote. He sang from the heart— and he developed dysphonia— inability to sing (which is psychosomatic), and eventually his arthritis took away his ability to play guitar. A true troubadour. A loss to me as great as Jerry Reed, more actually. Thank you for your post.
The prophetic song about a lost romance, is more than that—
