Only the huge influence his music has had on this old Irishman tends to confirm it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BV6b_Ts0k0&list=RDRCj_XmmGsWI Donny SoundClick: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=1209254&content=music SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/donald-gaynor BIAB 2021 w/current updates.

If I do Streetjelly, it'll be in the set. Of course he had the hits that everyone knows, but he wrote many, many beautiful songs.

I covered "Susan's Floor", "Steel Rail Blues", "Did She Mention My Name?" and other lesser known songs. "Go Go Round" and "Winter's Night" are some of his best poetry, in my opinion. Long chat with Hayley yesterday. She wants to start writing her own songs but tends to shy away from the term "co-write". She has some contractual obligations apparently. I didn't fully understand. I'm working on Nokie to take Hayley on his next Japanese tour. I've only hinted at it with Hayley, not asked her outright. Nokie calls the Japanese "the most loyal fans in the world." After 50+ years, he is still treated as royalty so he goes back as often as possible to bask in their love. Best wishes to you, my friend.

Thanks for your information. Incidentally, his highly-played songs were not his best, in my opinion. He had many others that demonstrated his gift as a poet. "Susan's Floor" is one of my all time favorites.

He had been sleeping on the sofa and, upon getting up, the cardiovascular stress was too great. The aorta ruptured and he was dead before he hit the floor. (ok, not literally) EMT could not revive him and they arrived within 6 minutes.
