Townes used to say, "Man, I could have been a Poet but this stupid music
keeps coming with it."
Townes was a funny guy.
He wrote some of the most stunningly introspective songs of our time.
His songs evoke imagery and visions of otherworldly places and beauty.
His songs reach a place in your soul few writers ever enter.
The characters in Townes songs are usually the downtrodden, derelicts,
drifters, whores and those less fortunate than most of us, though we can all identify with their "humanity" through Townes' words.
He's gone to those dark places, so we don't have to.

WE'VE ADDED A SERIES OF DREAMS THAT CLOSE FRIENDS AND FAMILY HAD AFTER TOWNES DIED THAT ALL CAME TOGETHER DURING JOHN KRUTH'S RESEARCH FOR HIS BIOGRAPHY ABOUT TOWNES "To Live's to Fly - The Ballad of the Late, Great Townes Van Zandt."
IT'S A TRIP!

Hi friends of Townes, I just dropped in to listen to some good music to relax from a hard working day. And that..s just what I found on your page once again. Thanks a lot for the friendship and the great songs … and if you like listen to mine …. All the best for you and all your friends Shiregreen from Germany
a friend is like a flower that blooms just for you..and we can be our real selves when we see what's true..a friend is like a gentle rain when you thirst..and we are dancing rings around a rose called mother earth..a friend is like the moon choosing to reflect the light..and we couldn't see the beautiful stars unless it was for the dark of nights..a friend is like a flower we send to ourselves..a gift that just keeps on opening until the light of love is shown and felt.
Hey to all of you, screw all the medications, bottles, pills and counselors, all you need is a Townes song, sometimes a Townes album ( make that two ).
Great to be part of Townes tribute cheers from the south land Laws for the harsh pond shark don..t leave your shoes on to swim in the dream about the poacher.
Hi freinds of Townes, hope everything's alright with you out there. I spent a wonderful time in the south of France and wrote some new songs. Share the feeling of the waves and the shore and the tide and listen to "Aquablue" and two other new songs on myspace ... All the best for you ... Your friend Shiregreen from Germany
