When I went and visited my friend Donnie, in Arlington Texas, she wanted to go looking at nylon stringed guitars. She knew she wanted to try a Taylor, and the closest place to get one was Weatherford, Texas. It was a very cute music store and the 'acoustic room' was in the back. The gentleman in residence looked like Wilford Brimley.

I talked him into playing "Letter from a Friend (Why do you ride for your money)". At that time, Mr. Brimley was doing Quaker Oatmeal commercials.

It was rather delightful, actually. Thanks for reminding me.

Every guitar store I've been to in the last 40 years has a guy who looks like Wilford Brimley working in the acoustic room. It's uncanny.

He said 'When I was performing I had 14 guitars. Now I only have 10. YOu can never have too many acoustic guitars.'

which of course led to the 'Maybe you'd play something for us' request.

Maybe they're all related, hm?

Even better: Maybe they're all the same guy.
