Where have I been? I did not know that Gamble Rogers had passed away. I saw him around 1982, in Wilkesboro, N.C. I was doing some work in the community theatre there, and helped set up for his show. We went with him to the local pancake house for late dinner/breakfast after the show. Nice, nice guy. I remember some of his songs:"Smoke that cigarette", "Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without", and "I got a girl, her name is Sal, and she looks like a waterfowl" . (Something like that) He said he wanted to pursue more serious writing after that year, but that was great fun. Wow...Thanks for letting me reminisce.
