A rake, short for rakehell (analogous to "hellraiser"), is a historic term applied to a man who is habituated to immoral conduct, particularly womanising. Often a rake was also prodigal who wasted his (usually inherited) fortune on gambling, wine, women and song, incurring lavish debts in the process. Comparable terms are "libertine" and "debauchee".

Thanks folks, I was going to do a rock electric version of this but tendonitis has playing sidelined for awhile.

More and more I hear Townes songs in movies and more and more I hear songwriters talking about his songs.

Thanks N. kat, I deleted Rake 2 so I could use the Drive In theme on another Horror  vid. We lived at the drive in on Saturday Nights parked next to the Girls Bathroom.

It all about the Music John at least for me. I still remember when I first tried to sing and play at the same time it seemed impossible.
