That was nice but I guess its a sales pitch for Yeti coolers at the end.

TVZ would be spinning in his grave.  He preferred natural styrofoam coolers.

Sales pitch or not, that was cool. Yeti is doing a lot of good with these short videos they’re doing highlighting and supporting real folks who’ve worked very hard to be where they are. 
JT is a really really good dude - a good friend of several of my good friends. A fantastic guitar player, possibly the best and most knowledgeable, and kindest  of the Texas coastal fishing guides.

Here's his son John 23 years ago.  An unbelievable stage full of luminaries paying tribute to his Dad. 

Whether you are familiar with TVZ or not -  this is one of the best ways to become more familiar.     Warning - he lived and loved the blues.    Famous quote near the middle of the end, he said  "There's only two kinds of music:  Blues and Zippity Do Dah."  

Willie and Emmylou do Pancho & Lefty around 25:00.       Don't start this unless you have an hour - impossible to turn off.

 What an absolutely cool video.  I really enjoyed that, Yeti or not.  Good to see so much interaction with his kids.  Looks like the real deal.

Thanks for posting this.

Great video but is the Yeti angle saying that you're gonna leave your coolers to your kids?

A mighty fine little film - though I'm a bit in the fog regarding the last point 'bout the Jumbo-cranium parallel.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    He surely will have material for a new nut and some horn-pins. .
