You'll get a chuckle out of the way I met him. I was picking some off-the-wall tunes by request for tourists near the statue of W.C. Handy on Memphis' Beale Street, hitting everything from Presley tunes [*I can play it if you can sing it...*] Rufus Thomas Walkin' the dog to C.W. McCall's Wolf Creek Pass. This bunch of Memphis dock workers showed up and pitched in, and one of 'em grinned and asked me for Wooly Bully...and Lil Red Ridin' Hood... And JuJu Hand...and Jimmie Lee Riley's My Gal is RedHot!....

We kept that up for an hour or so before he fessed up to me who he was. One absolutely thoroughly nice guy.
