It is being reported on Facebook by his friend Janis Ian that the great singer-songwriter Jesse Winchester has died.

Here is a photo of him that I shot at Nashville’s Belcourt Theater on April 3, 2003.

At the brand new Tennessee Waltz

You were literally waltzing on air

At the brand new, oh, Tennessee Waltz

It’s just no telling who will be there
