There's still a hope of course from many os us long term fans that some of the material he wrote that never made onto a recording might find it's way in there, especially with the advanced technology we have these days.
Ih his song "A Painter Passing Through," the last verse opens up with the opening line:
"Now that I am old, let me rest a spell,"
Then it ends with:
"If you want to my secret don't come runnin' after me,
For I am just a painter passing through in history.

Is this the same Ron Jones as lighthead2toe ? Whether it is or not, I totally agree.
