thanks for sharing. I’m having a hard time coming up with the words. Kristofferson has been a GIANT to me since I listened to Dad’s scratchy records in the late 70s

I get it. Even though 'Silver Tongued' was the first one I owned, the first one I heard was from my local library. I checked out 'Songs of Kristofferson' because I'd heard his stuff on the radio by others. I don't know a time when he wasn't in my life. I'll tell you now, I'm gonna be a wreck when (...if?) Willie goes!

Great appreciation. And let’s all remember how great he is in the full director’s cut of Heaven’s Gate. The first time I saw it, I couldn’t believe he hadn’t made 30 more big movies. But he was doing other stuff.

The director’s cut has been added to my much-watch list for quite a while now!
