well, NOW I actually have wooden stuff I have made all over the world..(Martyn Wyndham-Read uses a folding chair I made and various folkies have woodturnings, lamps and pendant necklaces I made....a nice feeling)but once upon a time:
I pissed at a urinal between Allan Ginsberg and Peter Orlovsky and gave them directions to find cheap Coleman coolers.
I originally told Bryan Bowers about Winfield, Kansas (The National Flat-Picking contest) and several years later, when he was starring there, a woman I know was smitten with Bryan and pursued him for 2 days... Bryan mistakenly assumed she was 'with' me, and set her up with John Hartford (from what she said, she was 'almost' as happy).....John sort of owed me a favor, and now I can't collect...*wistful smile*
