R.I.P Guy Clark
Probably not well known in this crowd but the iconic Texas/progressive country/outlaw songwriter checked out yesterday. Songs he wrote covered by everyone from Johnny Cash to Jimmy Buffet to Jerry Jeff Walker. "L.A. Freeway", "Desperadoes Waiting For A Train", " Texas 1947" , "Boats to Build" etc. are classics in this genre.
No flashy Nashviille sounds, not about pickup trucks, whiskey drinking, cheating... just simple words about growing older and perhaps wiser, getting along in life and dealing with life's obstacles.

RIP, Guy Clark.
(Whether or not anyone on a Porsche bulletin board have heard of him - and I know they have - plenty of great musicians have certainly taken notice...)

"L.A. Freeway" would have been the perfect background music when O.J. was cruising around in his white Bronco...

R.I.P, indeed. Clark also was a fine guitar builder.
