Several years ago Doc played at Poor David's Pub in Dallas; a great venue for live folk and blues. My wife passed a note to Doc and his sideman asking him, if he would be able to play Grandfather's Clock for our 17 year old son who was with us at the show, in celebration of his birthday - we explained that Trevor had grown up hearing Doc and me singing that song. During the show a few voices requested their favorites at one quiet moment and Doc explained that they did a set show and coudln't do requests - BUT there was a young man named Trevor celebrating his 17th birthday .... and in deed went on to wish a birthday wish and sing the song for Trevor. My son was thrilled (he had no idea what we'd requested). The next day the Dallas News had a big photo, a great review and the story about Doc's birthday wish! It was a real thrill for my 17 YO (now 23) and a moment he''l always remember.
