I’ve written many times of the excellent songs by Todd Snider. I found this old clip of Todd playing with the Nervous Wrecks (that’s Will Kimbrough and at least one of the Joes). We saw them several times back “in the 1900s” as my kids would say which was before Will took off to do his thing with Rodney Crowell and Buffett and half of Nashville and Joe retired from playing bass I guess and Todd does the solo gypsy sort of thing now. Good times.

Pretend it’s high def and high fidelity and shit and you’re there.

Here’s Todd explaining how he wrote the song:

I hope I die before I get old <-- too late for that.
