I really enjoyed this Dani. Townes is one of my favorite songwriters as well, probably my favorite if I had to choose. Townes would often talk about how some of his songs came from another place, the sky, the Earth.. Like he was just a vehicle for a song/idea that had been floating around. Do you think there is something to that, or do you think he was very intentional with his words?
I actually just published my first attempt at writing about Townes a couple days ago with a focus on "what made him so great?" In case you're interested.
