JT Van Zandt Designed Texas Creek Boats

J.T. Van Zandt, the oldest son of Texas troubadour Townes Van Zandt, builds some beautiful creek boats.

“One of the proudest associations of my life is as the oldest son of Townes Van Zandt,” says J.T. “My father had the songwriting thing down. But he dreamed of fishing. He dreamed of wooden boats. And I’m sure that affected me, subconsciously at least.”

Wow! I had no idea Townes had a child. One of the greatest American song writers ever.
