Let an Old Race Horse Run

I have been listening to a lot of Del McCoury on Internet Archive which is this really cool collection of music and media that you can have FOR FREE. It's pretty neat, except it sometimes leads me to do things like listen to Jim Jones give his final sermon to the People's Church right before they passed out the Kool Aid, and then try and go to sleep.

But Del, who I saw play with Bela Fleck some months ago, just makes me, in that typical olde tymey bluegrassy way, feel both elated and sad at the same time. I can't listen to Let an Old Race Horse Run, or '52 Vincent Black Lightening without feeling a sqeezing in my chest that, for once, has nothing to do with anxiety.
