“The show is what they call in the trade a Guitar Pull. It is where songwriters set around and they take turns and tell about what inspired them to compose a particular song and then to sing it for their fellow musicians. The host is Paul Zarzyski, a romantic wordsmith and songwriter in his own right, however he is still taking vocal lessons. Paul had a few notable songwriters on stage such as Dave Stamey and Juni Fisher. However this segment features Curly Musgrave in a special moment. “
“I was there and I'm sure several of you were as well. It was one of the highlights of 11 years of concerts. Those that were not there will find it to be a very revealing and touching moment. The song Curly sings was and is my favorite of his.”
“Curly talks briefly about his faith in the video which was still evolving at the time. Having had a late supper with him (along with my wife Sherrill) after a solo concert at Mavericks, a few years after this video was taken, Curly shared with us his spiritual journey. As such, I can testify that he was right with the Lord when he was called home last Sunday. His crossing over Jordan took place while the rest of us were at the Monterey Cowboy Church service where he was slated to be. I guess he was with us.”
“I hope you are touched by this moving tribute to a wonderful and talented musician.
Curly Jim Musgrave is really home now, however his music will remain with us until we see him again.”
