Todd Snider & Joe Ely

I've spoken many times about stumbling onto Todd Snider's Austin City Limits episode back in the mid-90s, and another thrill at the time was randomly catching him & Joe Ely cover Buddy Holly's Oh Boy! on some show Tom Wopat hosted on the Country Music Network (it's crazy what you'd roll onto back in the "I have no idea what the hell's on any of these 811 channels so we'll flip through every single one thank you very much" days.)

Joe Ely died four days ago; it's tragic the world's lost both him and Todd Snider in the last month.
