Intro

Hello
I'd like to thank you all
For takin' the time to listen to these songs
It was many years ago at a place in Dallas, Texas
That we call the AllGood Café

The first time I saw a picture on the wall
It was of a man referred to as the "real deal"
And if you spoke his name above a whisper
He'd just disappear into the hot Texas night

I can see him now on a big stage in
Memphis, Tennessee or Austin, Texas
Singin' with tears in his eyes
He changed my life forever
He was my friend, James Hand
And these are his songs
This one's for you, Slim
