Maybe Rodney's best ever, so many good ones. You can click "dislike this", "like this", but not "I love this!"

GOD ALMIGHTY.. Dear Rodney I hope you're payin' attention to us all loving you and your spontaneous music/lyrics in here honey. Ah, having had southern roots, a speckof salt on watermelon got my small attention and drew a 'granny' grin of my southern Granny and she also put it on home grown tomatoes, a tad bit of 'sugar.' Nevermind that all. I'm in N Cali and saw you here honey, raised here w/ southern roots therein, Midland tx was where my folks met or I wouldn't have been born couple years b4 you. Forever your eternal loving fan.

Sawdust Floor - this is the watermelon stand at 75th & Lawndale. I worked there 3 summers & the only tip I got was the watermelon seeds that the customers used to spit on on the "Watermelon Floor"

For me, this is just the story of all our childhoods - where and when and how we grew us; ordinary kids, rich, poor or whatever. How lucky we were, to have experienced it as opposed to today where a blade of grass is unknown. Rodney Crowell says it all.

I remember Hurricane Carla but not with fondness. I was just 9 yrs. old; September of 1961. My parents would remember about the bars but I sure remember Princess Drive In, the Cherry Tree in our front yard. Our parents took us to Gulf Gate shopping center. I remember getting lost when I asked my brother where the water fountain was, he pointed, I went; boy did I get a whoopin'. We lived in Foster Place neighborhood until I was around 12. Lots of fond memories.

Used to work a security guard gig at Schlumberger Well Services on 5000 Gulf Freeway and drove up Telephone Rd to get there every day. Ate at the Tel-Wink quite frequently. Thanks for the memories.

Hey DDT never hurt no-one! Commies banned it because it worked. Malaria is killing all the kids ijn Africa that the Boco Harem ain't raping. Plus it is a cool AC/DC song. IM DDT, IM DYNOMITE!

I knew Jerry Stubbs long before he opened his shop, and I remember the old one. When I met him, he was a home improvement salesman at Montgomery Wards in Palm Center.

Rodney rules. His part in Heartworn Highways is tremendous. Blueberry Wine anyone?
