I think it is time to pay tribute once again to one of the kids who tortured me daily in school, and liked saying "Get bent!" to people. Don Hutson!

Yes, the young fool and complete asshole, Don Hutson, from 1960's Skaneateles, New York, a kid whose ears stuck out farther than Alfred E. Neumann's and whose face was uglier than Alfred's too. Don Hutson, the jerk who talked about sex incessantly, yet never succeeded in finding a girlfriend. Don Hutson, the f*ckhead who was clearly headed for a deadend job, like retrieving carts at the local grocery or pumping gas at the local gas station or maybe washing dishes at the local truck stop. Don Hutson, the idiot who made life hell for his teachers and for any kid who was small enough to bully. Don Hutson, the complete and utter degenerate who was proud of his ability to turn any word in the English dictionary into a dirty word of some kind by altering a few letters.

Don, on the tiny, tiny chance that you or anyone you know would log onto a folk & blues website after all these years I just want to say one thing to you...

Get bent!
