One of my all-time "duh" moments. I've heard The Brand New Tennessee Waltz probably 100 times over the years. While listening to it yesterday, it hit me like a thunderbolt that Jesse probably is singing, at least in part, about a hanging. "Literally" waltzing on air...They'll find you wherever you're hid... What else could he mean? So I come to work this morning and discover that, while I'm probably nuts, at least I have some company. Regardless, IMO, it's one of Jesse's most beautiful song, which also means that it's most beautiful songs in the English language. But now I'm not too happy about the visual that will accompany it from now on.
