Another Pat Sky hunting anecdote from the liner notes of his album "A Harvest Of Gentle Clang" written by Dave Van Ronk's then wife Terri:

"Patrick Sky's ambition in life is to have a wall solidly lined with Kentucky rifles. He has a few already and is constantly searching out new old rifles. He uses some of them, too. Like the time he and my husband went hunting. David had never gone shooting and he has an astigmatism. Patrick, however, insisted that he was a good shot. When he came to pick up Dave, he brought some strange kind of old musket that you stuff black powder into.

I called Patrick's manager and told him about the trip and the musket. We were still trying to figure out how to split the funeral expenses when two bedraggled men and two bedraggled squirrels marched in the door - and I'm still not sure which pair had had the worst of it."
