JT speaks about his dad with such wisdom and forgiveness. my dad’s parenting style is similar to townes’ and it’s been hard for me to achieve the level of forgiveness shown here. jt seems like a grade a human being.
Gage Brown In many ways, our parents are doing the best they can with what they’ve got. Sometimes we can’t see it or we might not be able to understand it, but we all have our demons. Some demons are bigger than others.
Had to come back 4 years later. The story really speaks to you.
"Be a fuckin man" Love it...
And then go to bed early, wake up, and do it again.
@@Halliday55 Go to sleep and wake up early and do it again.
I was going to bed but I decided to watch one last video, then I watched it four more times. This story is me and who I want to be all at once. Thank you for sharing.
Oh that tune at 5:59....gets me every time. "I'll Be Here in the Morning"
didn't have my kids til my 40's. Best thing I ever did, for them and for me. I love my girls more than anything in this world.
What a great way to honor life. Accepting what your given and making the most of it. Particularly liked "be a fucking man!" Everyday. Cheers!
Wow. He looks just like his dad.
How many of us who grew up to a single mom wishing there dad was around could learn to love and cherish life from listening to this man
Your dad’s songs meant more to me than I can express .
Oh, how I wish J.T. would see this. The last time I saw him was at Executive Surf Club in Corpus Christi. That was the last time I saw Townes, too. I sang a song to Townes that I had written for him years and years before... don't know if J.T. would remember that. I have just the greatest respect for J.T. and what he's accomplished in his life ... he parlayed that hand he was dealt into a real winner. And now I'm gonna go hunt for a tissue.
Much, much love, kiddo. Well done.
And oh, how I'd love to hear your song. Is it on RUclips?
The way he describes the hyper focus really resonates with me. Its exactly what I love about fishing; when you're fishing, you're doing just that, you're just fishing.
JT is amazingly poetic himself. Fishing with JT is on the bucket list for sure.
JT is the real deal. Always grateful for his insight. I’ve loved Townes for years but recently my admiration has shifted to JT. Understanding that you can appreciate the art Townes was able to make but still be realistic about who he was. Thanks for your perspective JT.
As eloquent and insightful as his father. What men.
This is the best video I've ever watched. This and Watchtower over Turkey. The story, the music, the way it was filmed and edited. I regularly come back and watch this. Well played to the film maker.
you can tell everyone involved in the making of this feels the same magic in life that townes used to write his songs, artists.
That end😢
All i can say is " Your Pops killed it, I listen to everything he did"
this is such a wonderful epilogue to TVZ's tragic story. proud of you JT
Thanks JT FOR a beautiful tribute to your Dad.
I discovered Townes about 5 years ago after hearing a local musician in Kinsale, Ireland singing Pancho & Lefty. I've listened to his music everyday since. I discovered J.T on RUclips very recently and I'm really impressed at his maturity, clarity, passion and love for his family. I started my own family at a similar age and I can relate -
it is for this that we Poles love you Americans.
To the human heart.
Keep it up
Words cannot describe hoe beautiful this was. Touched my heart.
The redemption of the father
Lives in the son,
The son lives in the mothers heart,
And mother she loves them both
And keeps us afloat
Through all our manly mistakes
Made at night,
Until the morning.
❤️🔥
Thanks JT, your dad is up there smiling. Your a good man and one hell of a guide
I’ve watched this a dozen times, it’s emotional award winning stuff. Thanks
I was loaned a Van Zandt album in my mid 20s by a crazy, bearded guy who came into the bookstore where I worked. I was a young hippie kid, who'd never heard anything like that. What a great way to reconnect to Townes' legacy, and know more about his son. Now I'm older, I fly fish and this really short really made my think about my own legacy and my own father. Thank you.
I don't think I'd ever loan any of my Townes albums out. That guy must be some kind of a saint.
This is the first ad that will work on me... I'm such a big TVZ fan, and his son seems so cool, I will actually buy a yeti product ...
Goosebumps every time at the end
Yeti, I'd never heard of your brand or seen any of your products, but thank you.
Wisdom. From a tough road. J.T. is a very impressive man.
Your father has kept me in this world.
Beautiful words JT, motivating.
Makes me proud to own a Yeti. I would have never seen these great stories.Thank you Yeti
a really nice guy - his father would be very proud of him to hear him now
John you have more peace in your life ... than your father. It's a blessing
Thank you for sharing your story JT.
His perspective is a beautiful story. Love this guy.
This is a quality short doc. The fact that It's about the son of Townes and it is surrounded by fly fishing is pretty amazing!!
I always watched JT’s fishing videos and thought you looked just exactly like van zandt, now I know why! 😂 I am a huge fan of both of you! Keep em’ coming!
Thanks for the advice JT, specially now that I'm a dad myself... your father would be so proud.
Knew JT long ago as a family friend. So proud of the outstanding man he has become. Great words and great video. Well done!
Excellent subject, excellent story, and excellent work to the team making this.
Loved watching this video. You are wise, J.T. I am sure your dad would be so proud. Thanks for sharing.
this is stunning.. thank you to everyone involved in this.
I hope this lives forever.
As a father of three tiny kids, trying to be the best creative he can be, this was heartfelt.
Beautiful..... Could save someone years of therapy, so insightful.....
Geez! This Guy sure gets it!! 👍🙏🏻
Beautiful.
Thank you JT, this is beautiful.
I loved this one, its speaks to my soul and connects me with my father!
Truly amazing video. Very powerful!
Thank you so much for sharing your story
Such an awesome video! Thank you YETI!
Thank you. Best wishes to you always.
Truly excellent.
I so needed to see this video again, thank you for your warmth and strength!🙏🤙
What an awesome story and so inspiring
Exceptional!
Outstanding.
Maybe the best thing I've ever seen!
Incredible.
Beautiful
This was awesome. The word awesome really pales in comparison in trying to describe this.
One solid guy right there....
this is awesome.
JT seems like such a great person. I bet Townes is lookin down and smiling.
So awesome.
Love this video JT.
beautiful !
Incredible story and so well told and captured!
God this is just beautiful. So inspiring
I had this saved on my playlist watch later for a long time i just wasn’t ready for it until 8 minutes and 2 seconds ago. Was surprised to see who it was and who is father was. Great video.
Beautiful video!
guy speaks a lot of truth
Gets me every time
Thanks so much for this upload that was amazing to see
Wonderful!
Fantastic
Amazing!!
enjoyed this video and short story ... thanks for sharing
Best ending of all time
I needed this today. If J.T does see this I fuckin vow to met him and Alvin Dedeaux someday and thank them for being an example of what a real man can be when he has true passion for life and living. My sons will know of them and how they inspired me to continually be a better father, husband and of course a passion for fly fishing. ;)
I love this video. I agree with a previous comment that it makes me proud to own a Yeti.
brilliant!
Love this!! I met Townes at a songwriter night I was playing at Douglas Corner in Nashville. May of '95. He complimented our round and I was stoked! So interesting and great to see where JT has landed and is thriving as a craftsman in his own right and at the center of his gifted-ness!.... Beautiful video.
I would love to shake JTs hand. I have a deep love for his fathers music, but i would have never wanted him as my dad. I had a bit similar, but not as extreme. JT seems to have a real sound head and heart.
Fabulous
Why doesn't that have more views? Simply amazing...
He is captivating. Saw him on MeatEater too.
Awesome commentary
thank you
Cool. Thanks.
P.L.U.R. ANCHOR MAN... ❤❤❤😊😊😊
so good i watched it twice
Only twice?
Right? I have watched it so many times.
Feels a lot like my story!
In the pic of him and his dad with cigs in their mouths he looks like Ashton Kutcher 😂
Side note:
Awesome video ... his wording gets me every time
Foxy seems like a pretty chill dog. I was surprised that she kept her balance on the boats. She looks like a herder. Aussie mix?
It’s a blue heeler
real bad ass
