If I Needed You

Townes Van Zandt, that song is beautiful. You probably heard it in the movie “Crazy Heart.” It has been haunting me lately and I want to learn to play some version of it. I can sing it, not play it. But it makes me want to go back to guitar and piano.

I knew this movie would be a great one months before it arrived and am so pleased that Jeff Bridges finally got the Oscar he’s been due a long while. We’d planned to go away over Labor Day but I just found tix to Ryan Bingham and the Dead Horses so we may delay for a day. The music, I love Robert Duvall’s little song, has inspired me.

If I needed you, would you come to me; would you come to me and ease my pain. Simple songs, great lyrics, makes me want to cook a big pot of Texas chili. No beans, I know, and learned that in TX. Cheers, Dee
