Guy Clark

Wanda and I went to see Guy Clark (with Verlon Thompson) at the Knox United Church last Friday.  What a great venue to see an artist described as the greatest living American songwriter.  When you are new to Clark's music it is surprising to hear how many of his songs were made famous by other performers.  He opened with one of my favourites: L. A. Freeway.  The back story he told was very funny.

It was an excellent show.  His sideman, Verlon Thompson, played one of his songs which was very well crafted and touching.
