Description
Called the "Hemingway of country music," by Nanci Griffith, who covered his tune "The Ballad Of Robin Wintersmith", Richard Dobson is one of Texas' most literate songsmiths. David Allen Coe recorded his song, ":Piece Of Wood And Steel", while Guy Clark used the tune, "Old Friends", written with Dobson and Suzanne Clark, as the title track of his 1988 album. A native of Tyler, Texas, Dobson dreamed of becoming a novelist from earliest memory. Graduating from Georgetown University, in 1966, with a Bachelors of Science degree in Spanish, he spent two years in the Peace Corps in Chile, writing two novels -- Seasons And Companions and The Gulf Coast Boys -- and several articles for the British fanzine, Omaha Rainbow. His dreams of becoming a novelist were curtailed, however, by music. Playing guitar and writing songs from the age of nineteen, he became a regular of the late-1960s and early-1970s Texan songwriter scene that included Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, Mickey Newbury and honorary Texan, Jerry Jeff Walker. He was one of the illustrious characters found around Guy Clark's table at the end of "Heartworn Highways". Dobson's debut album, In Texas Last December, financed with money earned by working on shrimp boats and oil riggers, in 1976, included a tune, "Baby Ride Easy" that was later covered as a duet by Carlene Carter and Dave Edmunds.

I have been buying on eBay now for many years and have over a thousand positive feedbacks. These are the first of very many items that i now want to sell. There is a reason why i have opened a new account with eBay to sell rather than use my existing account. I have in the last 6 months or so returned to my Christian belief. I want to follow what is scriptual in disposing of what, quite honestly, has been a bit of a millstone around my neck. One day i looked around at all the many thousand items that filled two rooms and came to a dawning realisation that i had no idea what 90% of all this stuff was. I mean, i could go and buy something, play it once, log it, and that was the last i ever saw of it. So, this has handed me a golden opportunity to turn around this situation into something positive. I'm not going to 'Bible bash' or 'rant and rave', I simply want you to understand my reasoning. With this in mind, i will leave it up to you to look up 2 sets of verses, if you want to. Matthew chapter 6 verses 1-4 explains my anonymity whilst Matthew chapter 19 verses 16-21 gives my explanation for giving the lot to the Haiti Lemon Aid Appeal. S O, D I G D E E P A N D B I D H I G H!!!! and keep watching as there lots of serious stuff to come (Unreleased Gram Parsons acetate, a couple of hundred Westwood one type radio shows, unreleased Townes Van Zandt acetate and hundreds more of similar ilk).
