A while back when JJ CALE died i made a post about people that could sign you through the low times...

  jj cale had me locked in, blaze foley had me on a bus with his clay pigeons, and townes will
always be sitting in my truck next to when he sings Rake.  As Guy Clark's, Anyhow I Love You Came out of my speakers this morning for the ten thousandth time i realized he is part of this crew that turns feelings into words and into the sweetest of songs. Emmylou's background vocals can't be beat, and Waylon on the telecaster..... what the fuck. This is another one of the top three songs for me.

    You have damn good musical taste. I would add John Prine to the list.

    You write/talk about how skateboarding found you. Then the bikes found you. I feel that way about the music that has made up the soundtrack of my life. I think we are more receptive to the message in songs as we grow. They have a tendency to find us at the right time in our lives. This song is one that found me at a time when I needed it/was ready for it. Happy New Year Max....Thanks and keep up the good work.
