Sundown is a song I never grew tired of, my favorite anyway.

Oh, I'm by no means trying to limit his legacy to that one song. I'm just not familiar with many of the others, and that happens to be one of my favorites (overplayed or not). No disrespect intended.

There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun Long before the white man and long before the wheel When the green dark forest was too silent to be real RIP to a great talent...
