I ask because of the approving little half-smile and nod the man gives at some of Zandt's slides and chords - he looks like the teacher noting that a prize pupil has done well - and the woman, also proud, is deferring to the man in a way that suggests the same. |

21 Jul 19 - 02:27 PM (#4001451) Subject: RE: Man and woman in Townes van Zandt video From: gillymor According to the comments the woman was Susanna Clark. She was a songwriter who co-wrote Easy From Now On and I'll Be Your San Antone Rose which appeared on Emmylou Harris albums. Both excellent songs. She and her husband Guy were good friends with van Zandt. I don't know who the man was. |
