Last night my wife and I had dinner with an old friend. She's the daughter of a musician from a well known old time western band. She told us that last year when one of the other band members was dying in the hospital that one of his male children { I hesitate to use the word son } got into the mans house and took his musical instruments. Included was a Martin tenor guitar that had been a gift from Gene Autry when they had worked on a movie together and a 4 string banjo that Uncle Dave Macon had owned.

Doesn't this just piss you off ? On top of that the instruments were sold for pennies on the dollar to pawn shops just to pay for a bender. The jackass didn't even get top dollar. And he ripped off his own father.

Somebody tell me why we can't bringback horse whipping ? This is Texas after all. Thanks for letting me rant. I'll get off my soapbox now. The air is getting a little thin up here.
