Dwayne, One of the great things about Stan, was his ability to write songs about working people. "the idiot" is about an oil field worker, "Lies" is about a ranchers wife. He wrote some great songs about fishermen. "The Mary Ellen Carter" and "the Jennie C" are two of my favorites. It's a testament to the power of his music, that people gather every year to celebrate his memory and listen to wonderful music.
