I was doing a gig at the hotel in Kinross Scotland. This guy in the corner kept asking for Country/Western songs, and although I was not prepared to do that sort of stuff, I finally relented and sang an old Hank Williams song. Then I asked if that's what he wanted, and he said yes, do more. So, I said that I was raised on that music, and did it for years before I became a folk singer. He asked "Why did you shift over"? Before I could answer, some guy at the bar said, "He learned two more chords."

Absolutely true story.
