Loved hearing this song at the Luminaire last year.<br /><br />NigelNigel Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785166677784087005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632029549152237270.post-84996104698303544392009-04-18T06:49:00.000-07:002009-04-18T06:49:00.000-07:00Dear Mr. Russell,

He was in the African Congo he says with the Air Force in the early 60's. He was an airplane mechanic. <br /><br />When your from Sierra Blanca, Texas there wasn't much else to do right out of high school back then.<br /><br />After retiring from a career fixing big motors he spends his spare time rebuilding antique motors in his barn out in the middle of the dessert. <br /><br />He was a fan of Western Music back in the 60's. We talked about it once. So for his birthday last year I sent him a copy of your Indians, Cowboys, Horses, and Dogs. He loved it. For Christmas I sent him Borderland. I can't wait to send him a copy of the new one too.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />Charlene ApplegateCharlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02197092661079358727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632029549152237270.post-20507862651089467532009-04-17T09:14:00.000-07:002009-04-17T09:14:00.000-07:00We'll look forward to seeing you, ST.

The Viet Nam War ; many went and many did not. Both for reasons right or wrong or maybe it is just a dirty blur. Then there is Jimmy that you immortalized so well and thst Johnny Cash set in stone. Great and sorrowful mix here with glory in the neighborhood . . .<br />Looking forward to the next ten . . .<br /><br /><br />-saddle tramp<br />Via: South of Salty City / North of St. GeorgeSaddle Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15640646036914910941noreply@blogger.com
