What would we do without our Spaw, the Don Rickles of the Mudcat. A year or so ago I posted a version of Wabash Cannon Ball that I was working on. In it I sang a line "There's a gal from Birmingham shes long and shes tall, she came down from Georgia on the wabash cannonball" Anyway Spaw heard it. He writes me and says, great picking great singing, however Birmingham is not in Georgia asshole and goes on to tell me the geography of southern cities.

I was on a conference call with a client and burst out laughing. I had to explain to them that I wasn't laughing at their proposal ... OMG

A true original in every regard. A beloved friend to all of us .. and now that I am done sucking up maybe I won't get pounded so bad when he does get to this thread ...
