Oh, Carmelita, Hold Me Tighter, I Think I’m Sinking Down

Oh, Carmelita, Hold Me Tighter,

I Think I’m Sinking Down

I once saw Claudia Scott on the bus stop, and

I wanted to tell her how I saw her sing with Ottar “Big Hand” Johansen and Casino Steel (what a name) when they were warming up for Waylon Jennings in Stavanger in -87, and I wanted to tell her how Johnny and me shared a bottle of “Upper Ten” with a hillbilly from Bryne who was sitting behind us, but I didn’t want to tell her how that hillbilly shouted “here comes Claudia with her pussy” when they took to the stage right after Stephen Ackles had left it.

I still have the poster from that gig rolled up somewhere in the attic back home.

me and Johnny got drunk the night Waylon Jennings played Stavanger. Waylon had Jessi Colter by his side. I lost my wallet.

I Think I’m Sinking Down.

I once saw Claudia Scott on the bus stop,

and I never asked her for a picture.

she still looked great.
