Bob:

My recollection is that it was shorts and barefeet for the folk festival, the black socks were added for the YouTube video. That said, you will receive no argument from me that when it comes to fashion, Mr. Murdoch does indeed march to a different drummer. As for the "man of honor", I would not disagree with that either but I still think you would be well served to use my wife as a chaperone next year while the alleged "man of honor" practices his Spanish with your new lady friend! :-)

With respect to "Who was holding the rifle with the scope on 33 1/3," I must confess that I have had that album in my possession for over 38 years and it has moved with me from Montreal QUE, to Vancouver, BC, to Swift Current SASK., to Sudbury, ONT. to Little Rock, AR, to Baton Rouge, LA, to Chicago, IL and now finally to Ft. Myers, FL. This is probably my last stop, if not the album's. My heirs, probably my sons, will have to decide where the album goes next. Sifting through my things, one will turn to the other and ask, "Hey, isn't this the guy the old man use to talk about?" Who knows where the conversation will go from there. But, and here is the confession, in all those years and all those moves, I never once thought about who was holding that damn rifle and so I want to thank you in advance for the sleepless night I am facing pondering that question.

As for the fatigue jacket, I would wager that if he still has it, it's in the same closet where he hangs his fire-fighting clothes that he probably hasn't laundered in a ka-zillion years. We might want to take a pass on that one.

Cheers,

Ken
