Saw him in ‘73 and had never heard of him. Was visiting a HS friend in Tx He came out w/ a big buzz going on no doubt and goes “Hello Houston, I’m Jackie Jack Walker and this here is the Lost Gonzo Band” Kicked it off with Getting by on Getting Bys And I turned to my buddy & said I thought you said his name was Jerry Jeff He looked at me and grinned and said It is What a great memory! RIP JJW You were a big part of “my” soundtrack!

This did not bring a tear to my eye...I cried. I grew up in the 70s with Jerry Jeff, but I had no idea how much his music spoke to me until I got "old". I liked it, but now... I love it. I grew up with old men like the one he sings of; so much wisdom, and such a loss when they leave. I ain't preaching, but if you've a mind to, do yourself a favor, and just sit and listen to some old folks

JJ had an easy singing voice, but most of the songs he sang were other people’s. Desperados Waiting For a Train is a Guy Clark song. Guy had a hell of a lot of good songs. Another singer/ storyteller named Todd Snider followed JJ around for years. You might like Guy and Todd.

"One day I looked up and he's pushin' 80" is so true the older you get. In your twenties life is all in front of you. I am close to 60 and wonder where did time go, it went so damn fast. I have more past than future that is for sure. Do not waste your life. Have a dream? Chase it. People treat you bad? Walk away. Do not wait for people to change, they won't. I miss grandma's husband. He was tougher than anyone I have ever known. In his 70's he mopped the floor of a bar with two loud mouth jerks.
Same age, and a Texan lived in austin off & on, but always loved the hill country. Remember when Congress avenue.was ironically enough , was hookers row? Jerry Jeff and many others was when Austin was the best kept in Texas 🤣

This is a tune that characterizes the relationship with young boys and the important men in their lives. The Men they try to emulate, the men they want to be like when "they grow up." I reckon we only truly grow up after our heros die, and we become some other youngster's hero. It is a Great Melody and Guy Clarke wrote this in gold ink with a silver pen as far as this cowboy is concerned.
