Here is a new video/interview of me at the Arkansas Reading Association in Little Rock. On the same page is another taken at the Texas Library Association.
Here’s another song by Mickey Newbury from his CD, Winter Winds.
Poison Red Berries
You know I don’t think much about her no more
Seldom if ever does she cross my mind
Yesterday’s gone Lord, it’s better forgotten
Like a poison red berry to die on the vine.
This morning at dawn Lord I pulled into town
Had some coffee and talked
With some old friends of mine
Laughing at all the good times they remembered
I remembered a time.
Lord I can see the bright lights back in Dallas
As Yesterday moves like a dream through my mind
I didn’t suppose I would ever forget her
And you know it took such a long time.
But I don’t think much about her no more
Seldom if ever does she cross my mind
Yesterday’s gone and better gortotten
Like a poison red berry it clings to my mind.
I have looked for ANY recording of this song and, until now, could not find it. I loved Mickey Newberry’s recording of the song he wrote, also Johnny Rodriguiz, Anita Carter, Johnny Cash, and Bobby Bare. I looked for Tammy Wynette’s recording for 30 years, and never did find it. I’m so grateful for whoever is responsible for putting it on YouTube! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
