Subject: RE: Coffee Drinking Nighthawk - WWVA
Kendall, that brand of humor was the stock-in-trade of country musicians of Lee's generation hereabouts. It's where Vaughn got the title for her book 'Six-foot, Man-eatin' Chicken' (I'll leave y'all to puzzle it out for now). "Daddy Dick" Richards (whom we just lost, and who I'll write a remembrance of here soon) had way too many of 'em. Or maybe just enough.

Re: DX. Vaughn says they could get WWVA at night in Clayton, New Mexico when she was a kid. I wonder if Lee DID know how many people he touched. I never interviewed him, and for years he only lived thirty miles from here. Never put off....
