The best shine always.

If poetry is the greatest of arts, poetry as music is magical and why it touches each inner self.

Poets speak for all of us; a song poet touches humanity and takes the arrogance out of (most) of us.

Earl’s effort cannot fail to do all of that.

Steve fascinates me because of his obvious authenticity, then drops me like lead because of his mathematical approach to what he does, then shows me what a true “artiste” he is with “Fort Worth Blues” and his bond with Van Zandt, the best bet ever to supplant Hank someday as “The Greatest.” Steve, in my head you”ll just have to settle for “one of the greatest.”
