RIP James Garner 1926-2014
Leaning against my father on winter evenings, watching flickering black and white television back in the day, the man Garner portrayed, Maverick, was my childhood crush - tall, dark, a dandy, clever with cards, and quick with a gun he preferred not to use - he was a trickster on the side of Right if not of the Law .
Who is the tall, dark stranger there?
Maverick is the name.
Ridin' the trail to who knows where,
Luck is his companion,
Gamblin' is his game...
