"The thing"

Keith Davis played the Dave Letterman Show with the Eli Young band around 2011. After they played “Crazy Girl”, Dave walked onstage and said to Keith: “Way to go on th ...

Thanks to this thread, I've been on a deep dive into Doug Sahm and Jim Lauderdale, getting blown away by Tommy's playing.
