Mickey Newbury is my favourite songwriter. Here is his tribute to Cortelia Clark, a man who scraped a living selling paper bags to train travellers in Nashville. Cortelia also played guitar and was featured on a collection of ‘street music’ by RCA Victor - Cortelia won a grammy.
I love the song,: Mickey’s love for his fellow man, his amazing lyrics and melodies. I hope my rendition gives some reflection of all that is good about the song and the two songwriters, Cortelia and Mickey.
