Sometimes it's a matter of, "The pen is mightier than the sword..." Other times it's "my heart's broke so bad, I'll never breathe again..."
When the smoke clears, the train whistle dies on the wind, or you find yourself still standing after the lightning strikes -- we hope it was worth the ride.
A lovely man from Needles, California -- I would follow Pink Williams anywhere. Unfortunately, as is often the case with someone so talented and tortured, he's the tumbleweed driven by the restless wind...
So, we continue to play the heart-wrenching, foot stomping songs that inspired us all to come together in the first place ...waiting for the day when the long, low whistle of the train stops blowing, and he returns with guitar in hand -- feet firmly on the ground. Call it my Western Dream.
With all my love, Pink, wherever you may be...Alice Williams
