    This is the song that got me through my beloved husband dying. I just had to make it through another day. By morning I would be through those hills and gone. 2018 and still missing him.

      sorry for your loss, such songs do help us endure, life is full of tragedy that when written and orchestrated become poetic and magical, but one never forgets the hurt associated with the original loss, I have had a lifetime of it to draw poetry and song from. Hugs and Smiles

    When the wind don't blow in Amarillo
    And the moon along the Gunnison don't rise
    Shall I cast my dreams upon your love, babe
    And lie beneath the laughter of your eyes
    It's snowin' on Raton
    Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone
    Bid the years good-bye you cannot still them
    You cannot still the circles of the sun
    You cannot count the miles until you feel them
    And you cannot hold a lover that is gone
    It's snowin' on Raton
    Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone
    Mother thinks the road is long and lonely
    Little brother thinks the road is straight and fine
    Little darling thinks the road is soft and lovely
    I'm thankful that old road is a friend of mine
    It's snowin' on Raton
    Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone
    Tomorrow the mountains will be sleeping
    Silently the blanket green and blue
    Oh that I would hear the silence they are keeping
    I'll bring all their promises to you
    It's snowin' on Raton
    Come morning I'll be through them hills and gone

      He's an amazing guitarist, technically and especially musically. But what I find of particular interest in his beautiful playing is that he uses campanella scales - as far as I know, he's unique in doing such in folk world.

    We all knew that there must have been some kind of torch-passing from Townes to these two, and this clip is a welcome confirmation. Their rendition of his song is a beautiful illustration of how music moves and grows through a culture that serves as a nutritional medium. Gillian Welch has proved to be a worthy inheritor of the embarrassment of riches that is American music. The interesting challenge, then, is who has got what it takes to learn from her?
