The great thing about Parker is that while he does things I LIKE more 
than other things, even the stuff that does less for me is so solid when 
I listen with my MIND. He just doesn't seem to have a lot of off days. 
Truly one of the greatest that ever was....

...it's a lonesome thing to be passing small towns with the 
lights shining sideways when the night is down, or going in 
strange places with a dog nosing before you and a dog nosing 
behind, or drawn to the cities where you'd hear a voice 
kissing and talking deep love in every shadow of the ditch, 
and you passing on with an empty, hungry stomach failing 
from your heart.
