    :(

    The poets tell how Pancho fell,
    And Lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel
    The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
    And so the story ends, we're told.

    Pancho needs your prayers, it's true
    But say a few for Lefty, too
    He only did what he had to do
    And now he's growin' old...



    Vaya con Dios, Lefty. :salute:

    I think I had one his cassettes around 1989 or so - I can't remember which one.

    Shit, he was the man and I thought he was touring this year. At least we got one last song out of him. Thanks for all the great music sir. You definitely will be missed.

    Oh and here's another excuse to use this.

    I'd also like to add this to my thoughts as well.
