I know the name, but I don't think I ever met him. Although I'm from TX, I moved to Nashville when I was very young (19) and our paths never crossed. Nanci and I became friends one night when I was playing a songwriter show at a bar in Nashville called Bogey's (long gone now). She was having dinner next door with a songwriter named Harlan Howard, and as they were leaving Harlan saw me on stage through the window and told Nanci they should go in and listen (he and I were friends and he thought Nanci would enjoy hearing a fellow Texan). One of the songs I played that night was the song she wound up recording. She very generously invited me to the recording session, and even put an 8x10 picture of me in the music video they wound up doing on the song.

She was a very kind, thoughtful and supportive person to me and I miss her.
