I grew up 13 miles NW of Copano, and my folks had a weekend place just west of the Hwy 35 causeway at Lamar. In September, 1961 we went down to prep the bay house as best we could for Hurricane Carla, which delivered a glancing blow to the area a day or so later. I had turned 7 years old a couple of weeks before. To this day I remember looking west as the sun was going down. It is now over 61 years later and I can truly say I've never seen a redder sunset than the one that was burned into my memory that day. I have since spent untold hours on the decks of my own salt water ladies in those beautiful bays. I no longer live in the area but Copano still holds a special place in my heart. Oh yeah, that song hits home for me big time... ...chokes me up a little whenever I hear it. Thank you Roger. ...and Gig 'em.

I LOVE this song. Every time I hear it, I am on the deck of that "salt water lady".
Gotta thank Jimmy Buffett's "Radio Margaritaville" for introducing me to this song.....
i thank Radio Margaritaville for this song and MANY, MANY more awesome songs i never would have known about if i didnt have Sirius radio...
Hi Joe - “Right on!” Jonny Weiss “Burning Man.” 🔥 🎶 😎
Just heard this song yesterday on Radio Margaritaville. Love it! Have relatives on Copano Bay.
Hi Roger - I’m a Fan of your Music. A friend of yours said hi. Jonny Weiss “Hello Texas!” 🎶
Makes me miss home, down by Christmas Bay Texas. Now stationed over in Little Creek, different kind of coast living here.
Great song.
Love Freddie Creager
