Pat Green - "Jim T's Caddy" Revealed!

In a past life I was the president of a record label called "Groovetone". That job was just as cool as you would think it would be. So one day  I was in my 1976 Eldorado Caddy with the top down. I was waved down by a couple of yahoos who then invited me to lunch. It turned out that I was eating with Pat Green, king daddy Texas songwriter/performer and my good friend and Austin legend Walt Wilkins. It was great hanging with them and when our plates were clean I hit the road. Six month's later Walt sent me a CD and damned if they had not mentioned me in one of Pat's bigger hits - "Carry On". The line is "Walt why don't you jump in Jim T's Caddy, come down to Texas and drink with me a while". The great thing about this is friends of mine from the old days heard this song over and over on the radio. I have answered the phone many times to the question, "is that you in that Pat Green song?!" and my standard answer is, "HELL YES!". Another interesting part of this is Pat will change Walt's name in the song with artists he is singing with at the time. So in theory I have had Willie Nelson, Robert Earl Keen and other Texas notable in my Caddy. TOO DAMN COOL! Thanks to Walt and Pat for immortalizing me in a song, a dream come true.
