6. Fellow Texan Guy Clark actually wrote this song, as you likely know :)

And it's a great song indeed!

7. Did not know!

Lots of folks have done this, but I was listening to JJW in the early 70's and always thought he wrote it.

You learn something new everyday.

8. JJW did release the first version, Guy didn't put it on a record til 1975

Kinda like the way The Flying Burrito Brothers released the 'original' version of Wild Horses.

9. Ummm..."fellow Texan"?

Jerry Jeff was an actual New Yorker.

12. I didn't know that either!

The stuff you learn in Music Appreciation is fascinating!

13. The OP said "Gawd, the guy was my idea of a great Texas sound."

I don't really know JJW other than having heard the name, I assumed he was from Texas based on the OP

14. Didn't mean to be rude

Not intending to scold--just inform.

Just one of those things where New York boys take on personae.

Like Ramblin' Jack Elliot, who was another New Yorker.
