1. God bless this guy!

[barbaraann]

2. Wow--I didn't know Larry McMurtry had a musician son.

Terms of Endearment is one of my very favorite books. I was disappointed in the movie.

[utopian]

3. He's a fantastic songwriter. Check him out.

Oh, and he plays the guitar like ringing a bell

[barbaraann]

4. I will!

Did you know that Larry McMurtry married Ken Kesey's widow? I think the love stories in Terms of Endearment reflect that situation.

7. Thanks for that connection. Both of them were my heroes way back when.

I'll be enjoying digging into this story.

19. You're welcome!

8. Most of the comments are about McMurtry's great legs - agreed!

9. I love James...

and his music, and love that he did this. "Where'd you get that red dress?" Indeed!

I think I've played his album Live in the Aught-Three to death.

The entire album just so great.

10. I love James McMurtry. He's a great musician and person

Saw him live once - hell of a guitarist. His lyrics are as good as his dad’s writing.

13. Thank you, James for your support and you are *rocking* that outfit!

14. I love James McMurty!

His songs are fantastic and very poignant regarding the issues plaguing our “society” today.

He’s the bomb! This makes him even more so!

Tasteful!

16. We Can't Make it Here

by James McMurtry:

Reminded me of this song, thanks!

[Hugh_Lebowski]

17. This fan-made video of that song is brilliant ...

[Warpy]

18. McMurtry is one of the few C&W types whose material I really like

I'm not surprised he's doing this. The man has a good brain, it thinks as well as creates.
