I have always thought that ol' REK never got the love that he deserved.Singer's songwriter, songwriter is cool and all, but I think he deserved a much larger audience.

REK lives in my town out in the TX Hill Country, and every July he puts on a great show - FOR FREE! - for all the local folks. We jam and sing along and this is usually his closer and there’s nothing sweeter than being down by the Guadalupe and singing along with all your friends; with the whole town, in fact. And then the fireworks. . We love him and he is our “local hero”! He participates in a LOT of stuff for charities, etc. and he gives it his all, every. Time. We love you, REK!

Saw him recently in the greeting card aisle at our local HEB. A few days later I parked I pulled into a spot in the same parking lot and next to me was Kinky Friedman loading the back of his old truck with dog food. God bless Kerrville.
