What a life he led.  The fact that he was a Rhodes Scholar and had a MA in English came through strongly in the songs, pure poetry. You can pick out lines from each song "  Trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday "    "   Echoing through the  canyons like the disappearing dreams of yesterday "   " Stumbled to the closet looking for my cleanest dirty shirt "  More poetry to me than Wordsworth ever was.
Glad I got to see Highwaymen in 1990, now only Willie of the four legends left.
