Absolutely priceless, Chuck! Not for the first time, I could picture you telling this story on Trip in the Country. In fact, I could imagine in years to come, convincing myself that it WAS a story from Trip in the Country!

Anytime you get a story involving a preist and Warren Zevon you know it’s going to be an interesting day.

I see a Tee shirt with a cropped version of the photo and the words "King Of The Mighty Telecaster!" down the side like the first Elvis album.

..or at least the 2024 Land That Time Forgot Christmas Card!

Your friend Kevin was correct: great post which had my wife and I laughing out loud.

You are now also qualified to cover John Hiatt's wonderful ditty 'Riding with the King'.

Best wishes from Mud Island, Cathy and Bernie

As a former alter boy of many years ago - unmolested I should add! - it was good to see you got the proper term correct for the Sacristy! Having also worked in the sign industry for years I’ll have to look into the San Francisco Neon group. Love great neon work. See you tomorrow in Charlotte - can hardly wait.

The Lady from Shanghai is my favorite Orson Wells film. Oh how fun to see it on the big screen in SF!
