Loyalty and dedication and honor and a horse.Way back in '53 when I was 4, Hopalong boosted me up on Topper, baptising me into the Church of the Cowboy Way. This is one of our hymns. Thank you Verlon and all the other White Hats.

I have been to Fort Worth, hmmm, and I have been to Spain And I have been too proud to come in out of the rain And I have seen the David, hmmm, I've seen the Mona Lisa too And I have heard Doc Watson play Columbus Stockade Blues (Maybe he'll play it for me at Merlefest 2009)

"Everywhere . . . Yet" - A great "list song" of the places he's played. How many of these have you visited? I counted nine, so I've got a long way to go!

Third set we've seen Guy and Verlon do this year; they represented Texas music at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in July.Great performances,but better sound this time as well as 3o+ degrees cooler.Excellent together, aren't they?

"Come From The Heart" - Verlon ends the show at the Cook Shack with this great song made famous by Guy Clark and written by Guy's wife, Susanna Clark, and Richard Leigh.

Verlon learned to play in Caddo County, OK. His website has a nice bio and sells his music, drop on by. I'm wishing for a solo show by Verlon in our future; thanks to guy Clark for putting him in front of us so often. Joe Walker's Mare is also on my channel, two renditions. www.verlonthompson.com

The first time I heard this song was a few years back hangin' out with "Hurricane Mike" @ Bamboo Cafe in Okinawa on a Sunday afternoon drinkin' beer. Needless to say, I was blown away. Not only did I love the playing but I really could identify with the lyrics. Mr. Thompson is one of the best acoustic pickers & songwriters anyone would have the good fortune of hearing. I hope that you folks like my version of it.
