It's interesting to read all these perspectives. When I interviewed him in Ft. Worth back in 1992 he was very gracious (and had surprised the crap out of me by calling my house himself to set up the meeting!)
Of course I was interviewing him about guitars and that westerny music culture...no questions about the Sylia days, and only glancingly about Lightfoot because he told me about working with and learning from Red Shea.
Like Lightfoot, he seems to have often been his own worst enemy, but ya gotta love the rugged individualistic authenticity of a guy like this.
