I grew-up weirdly around a bunch of singer/songwriter folk who would be on a Mt. Rushmore of Americana.
One was Townes Van Zandt, my Godfather.

Ready Fret Go! would like to apologize for mistakenly calling @timbaltz.bsky.social "Tim Balz" in recent posts.
We assure you this was COMPLETELY accidental because we forgot his last name is actually, "BALTZ".
Mr. Balz was DEATHLY funny on Righteous Gemstones and is a COMIC GENIUS.
