Started with listening to Snake Farm as kind of a joke. Still a great song. Once I found the rest of the music, man i was hooked. Just can't get enough man.
As a proud owner for the last 25+ years of a 72 Goldtop Deluxe, I think owning a Goldtop Les Paul is something worth aspiring to. As a person who has been in a happy, healthy relationship for the last 21 years, I'll plead the fifth on dating dancers. Much love to y'all.
"The days I keep my gratitude higher than my expectations I have really good days". That pretty much sums it up. First time I met you you told me to "keep my gratitude higher than my attitude". I don't always succeed but I do try. Thanks for sharing stories behind your sons.
The original location opened in 1971 and moved to the Lemmon Ave location in 1974. I saw quite a few progressive county artists at the original location. I remember seeing you there one night. It was Texas' version of California's Troubadour. Hippy country outlaw rockers hang out with hot babes everywhere
I actually came to Ray Wylie Hubbard through the East Side Dave Sports Show on Sirius XM, same week he did Letterman. It was on the Opie & Anthony channel back in the day & Roy Harter worked there & he knew Ray somehow. Anywho, RWH came over & somehow put up w/ ESD & they performed Drunken Poets Dream.
Met you at Apache Motorcycle few years back. "Thunder on the Brazos Rally" Brother you was the star of the show! It was a pleasure seeing you in person. Them was good times!
I’ve seen RWH in concert many many times so I’m familiar with this story but not sure I’ve heard the part about TJW getting the free publication rights to use his lines. Thanks Ray, like always enjoy the stories behind the songs. See you again at The Sellersville in May
Very cool but the song says it all dont ya think? Never heard TJW but I heard Rory Gallagher talking about him in '74. Perhaps I should investigate. Ray ...I think you're pretty amazing and so does my youngest son!
Absolute best lyric and quote of all time. Is an answer to everything.

Great song Ray! One of my musical idols!
love this song!
Thanks, Ray.
I loooove this song so much. I ordered a RWH art piece from his site with the gratitude quote on it. Such a great line. If I ever get a tattoo…

Expectations and really good days....hard to ask for more except that for that girl at the entry door....hell yeah
@Ray Wylie Hubbard🎶 That would be more than ok....... johnny.boyd@gmail.com
love the Letterman version
It's the greasiest, really
Tony Joe was such a cool cat!
I saw TJW in concert, in Portland, Oregon in about 1971. I still remember that show.
Coolest white dude ever
Tony Joe White did the right thing because I discover him and his music through this song soon after discovering RWH.
Very cool but the song says it all dont ya think? Never heard TJW but I heard Rory Gallagher talking about him in '74. Perhaps I should investigate. Ray ...I think you're pretty amazing and so does my youngest son!
👍
So was "conversation with the devil" a real dream you had? That was my first song by you i ever heard and I've loved your work ever since.
Ray I swear I saw you eating out in Grapevine on Christmas Eve. If not he was your twin.
So Judy was actually the door girl? True story wow
