Richard Dobson THE BIG TASTE Texas Folk SIGNED

	£		30
	$		40

I have been buying on eBay now for many years and have over a thousand positive feedbacks. 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 year 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 usually find something to say about what i am selling along with a track listing for albums. I hope that my passion and love for these items shines through occasionally amongst my rambling. So why would i want to just give them away. Simple, my love for Jesus as my redeemer is even greater. Matthew chapter 6 verses 1-4 explains the reason for a new eBay account whilst Matthew chapter 19 verses 16-21 gives my explanation for giving the lot to the Haiti Hospital 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).

My
  eBay has somehow been corrupted which is making my entries lose their
  formatting. eBay are investigating.  I will upload anyway as
  i think most of you out there will be able to decipher something helpful.
  Just keep scrolling down.                                                   As you will have seen on
  the news, things are getting quite desperate over in Haiti with the outbreak       of Cholera. As many of
  you know, ALL monies raised in my auction go to the Haiti Hospital Appeal.                           Richard Dobson  - 
  The Big Taste                                             
  Signed By Richard A native of Tyler and
  Houston currently living in Switzerland, Richard Dobson has been described as
  the Hemingway of Texas music. A contemporary  of Townes Van Zandt and
  a favorite of John Prine, Dobson was a key figure in the group of Texans who
  coalesced in Austin in the early ‘70s and gave  birth to the Texas
  singer-songwriter genre, but ended up peddling their wares in Nashville to
  make a living. Unlike Guy Clark and Steve Earle, who  settled in Nashville and
  immersed themselves in that scene, University of St. Thomas and Georgetown
  graduate Dobson never really settled anywhere.  Perhaps because he never
  had a “hit,” Dobson seemed to exist in a state of constant motion, gigging
  all he could, living the life, barely getting by.  When he ran out of gigs
  and money, he often fell back to the Gulf Coast, where he worked on shrimp
  boats and drilling rigs (his “Roughneck  Occupation” may be the
  finest oilfield song ever written). But an important list of
  artists covered Dobson songs. “The Ballad of Robin Wintersmith” became a
  staple of Nanci Griffith’s repertoire. David Allan  Coe’s version of “Piece
  of Wood and Steel” was a centerpiece of the 1974 chart-busting Outlaw Country
  classic Once Upon a Rhyme… Guy Clark used  Dobson’s “Old Friends”
  as the title track to his 1988 album. So eventually some mailbox money began
  to arrive, but Dobson continued his Sal  Paradise life as a
  traveling beat poet with a guitar. Dobson could never have been a Nashville
  pretty boy, and his work at all times embodies the traits  we now automatically
  ascribe to “real” Texas music: unaffected delivery, lyrical realism, more
  grit than gloss. In 1998, Dobson
  published The Gulf Coast Boys, a chronicle of the life and hard times of the
  Hemmer Ridge Mountain Boys (Townes Van Zandt, Rex Bell  and Mickey White, along
  with their psycho drinking buddy Johnny Guess, who is portrayed in the book
  as “JJ Wanker”). An existential dharma bum’s  look at the birth (and
  afterbirth) of what we now refer to as Texas music, the book received serious
  critical acclaim…. While Richard Dobson
  never attained the cachet and visibility that Van Zandt has achieved, when
  they carve the Texas singer-songwriter equivalent  of Mount Rushmore,
  Richard Dobson will be right there with Van Zandt, Clark and Earle.
