I used to tear it up when I was a kid. I cannot do it any more. My hands are about curled up. Got RA real bad. Not bragging, I just did it. Used to play anywhere I could, even on the throne. According to my first wife, I played in my sleep.
Never got famous, just got to hang out with some cool kids. Played guitar, keys, bass, and percussion.
Biggest thrill was Rodney Crowell buying me a drink at the Peppermill Lounge in Handley (East side of Fort Worth). I ran with Ed Shaver and Parnell’s kid at the time. Wild stuff.
