 I got no more

Summer be gones
Like a black hatted
Figure in Montana
       My horse is a Hyundai Accent
     It's parked in a Friday spot
   It's 2 hour parking unless you have a paid yearly area permit- interesting, huh?
  When I was car camping in Nebraska on a cross country trip to the east coast a man at the campground saw me playing guitar and came over. He said as a boy he'd known Jack Guthrie. I was like hey cool but I had no idea who that was. Was it Woody Guthrie or maybe a relative? This was in 1983. I finally looked him up and he was a cowboy singer who worked the west coast after the war. He was Woody Guthrie's cousin. Odd thing though, he died at age 32 in the town I grew up in. That was 1948. He was in the VA medical hospital for tuberculosis.
