Singing the memory of those who died too young.


****


****

Hank was dead -- long before a talented Texas songwriter, Townes Van Zandt, brought a mixture of celebration and tragedy to our ears.

Townes, like Hank, died young.


But left many songs behind.


There is a season for those who die too young -- and leave the riches of their lives for others to enjoy...

They need not be saints to leave behind the treasures of their hearts.

Hank, meet Townes...I am sure you already know each other.


May you both S.I.P. ("Sing In Peace").

Both songs written by Townes Van Zandt
