Floyd,

Country music is often about the tragedy of love lost. I've come to think of you as the ambassador and spokesperson for those emotions.

You are able to write at the "gut level", rip hearts out by the roots, then have the listeners thank you for the emotional ride...the wonderful experience.

I thank you for the fabulous "ride" of this and all of your songs.

If men "ain't supposed to cry!" then why do we have tear-ducts? You have frequently flushed mine. Thank you.

Lyrics move me so I'll reserve my comments on the melody.

Another FJ keeper.

Regards,

Your old, badly bent Irish friend, Don
