I wish for those days again my 70 years of living are written in those songs

"He did not know he could not fly, so he did". Genius.

There is something so pure and honest about songwriters singing their songs. Guy doesn't disappoint.

Stick a pin in Segraves Texas and draw a 200 mile circle and see how many true music legends have come from this real estate.

I talked to Guy on the morning the planes struck the Twin Towers. I was phoning Nashville from Canada. When I asked if we should postpone or cancel the interview he replied, 'No let's talk. It's what we do. It's all we can do.' Guy was an artist, a poet, a craftsman, but he was also a professional to the end. He told the stories of our lives, wherever we called home.

Our dear family friend, Guy. Guy and Susanna lived next door to us on Stratford St. in the Montrose area of Houston in the 60's. We miss you. Your voice always was, always will be so very comforting to me.... even when it's hoarse. You were an American treasure.

Tears.... An absolute American. St. Peter's in for a

Its not hard to recognize a true song writer....everyday simplicity... the pain and suffering from this life..can't fake it or imitate it..what a noble profession if that's what it is...so in touch with life...I believe you're born that way...its a way with words..a gift from God....just my humble opinion on songwriters...John Prine..Bob Dylan...Guy Clark.. Hank Williams..Woodie Guthrie.. Blind Willie McTell....all the rest..thanks so much.

Got to have two Greatest Song Writers! Guy Clark & Billy Joe Shafer

[saraed]

Hard to take, this loss. But the poets of Heaven surround him now as he tells his stories and sings his songs. I love you, Guy. See you someday.

How can anyone EVER in this life give a thumbs down to an aging Guy Clark?
He's a national treasure.

[Gunslick]

Guy is a seer, and Verlon sets him free. A pair for the ages. Guy's songs were what we always made sure we had when we headed off for the best times of our lives.

Have lived in Austin since back in the late 60 until now. Got to see Guy, Townes, Willie, Jerry Jeff, Fromholtz, Flatlanders, Sir Doug, Allen Wayne Damron, Alvin Crow, Asleep at the Wheel...etc ect etc.... and was just too stupid to know how good I had it. I guess I thought that everybody had music like that almost any night of the week and places like the Soap Creek Saloon, Split rail, Austin Opry House, Continental Club, Liberty Lunch .... Man, I would like to go back and live them years over, I would appreciate it this time.

[krimpoo]

what a master class of songwriting. He's close to the end here and the facility isnt what it used to be but those damn songs...those songs.

These two are also the definition of true gentlemen.

Guy Clark wrote the songs of my life. They've always been a coat from the cold. Miss you Guy.

[robertfarrar]

Ashamed to say this is my 1st time hearing Guy Clark. What a great writer, you couldn't get me to listen to what they play today. Bless him if he's passed on. 68 and still learning.

[mouseman]

Sad part of this whole thing is that there are some people out there listening to the radio right now thinking that cheap imitations like Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, and a dozen others are country!  What a joke!  This is the real deal.  This guy has left more wet change on Texas bars than those "want to bes" have ever seen.  Then he went home and wrote a song about it..  Listen close, there are not many left like Guy Clark and when he is gone we'll all lose a little bit of ourselves...

The world lost part of it's soul when Guy Clark left it.
