A lovely song -- and I presume that you are aware of George Jones's version of it as well. <br /><br />Thanks again.Stephen Pentzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882220887712092005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5010170380967519230.post-55441488211534455302014-03-15T21:34:51.760-07:002014-03-15T21:34:51.760-07:00Fred: yes, I think that some poets, writers, and a...Fred: yes, I think that some poets, writers, and artists claim too much for themselves. I find that the best, most truthful poets and artists are those who follow Lao Tzu's advice and keep quiet about what they are doing. If someone thinks their art is going to change the world, they are most likely not an artist. And they certainly aren't going to change the world.<br /><br />As always, it's very nice to hear from you. Thanks for the thoughts.Stephen Pentzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882220887712092005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5010170380967519230.post-22132543787286202362014-03-14T20:42:09.641-07:002014-03-14T20:42:09.641-07:00This post brings to mind Keith Whitley's lovel...This post brings to mind Keith Whitley's lovely old song:<br /><br />"I'll be your stepping stone..."<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Esthernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5010170380967519230.post-5750435690618614262014-03-14T10:16:38.506-07:002014-03-14T10:16:38.506-07:00Stephen,
