More on Kris

I ’never’ do this - so take this as the exception that proves the rule. We all know that 🖇️ Kris K recently passed - on Maui

My friend Randall wrote to me (these extracts reproduced with his permission)

Such a sad loss of a hero whom I actually knew …. Sarah Teed and I had the privilege of a hanging w/ him and John Prine when we played the Castle theater many years ago and I opened for him at the MACC many times sharing moments with him and his wife Lisa.

Randall went on and shared some Kris wisdom …

”He believed that songwriting is a spiritual communion of mind, body, and soul, and he believed that William Blake was correct in asserting that anyone divinely ordered for spiritual communion but buries his talent will be pursued by sorrow and desperation through life and by shame and confusion for eternity.

” (Blake) is telling you that you’ll be miserable if you don’t do what you’re supposed to do," Kristofferson said in the Ken Burns' documentary ‘Country Music’.”
