And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

That thing ceased being a guitar long ago. A quarter sheet of plywood with fishing leader wrapped around it would sound better. But then, his voice matches the, ahem, guitar. Boy never made a red cent off'n my ass.

That thing is exceptionally well cared for. It gets thousands spent on it every year and is kept in one piece by a master guitar maker. It has been played untold thousands of hours, and it is kept in its condition to make sure the sound doesn’t change. It is also enormously valuable.
he&entourage on 2 occasions stopped in on a sunday night at the C&W joint I worked in. sundays were slow, he asked the house band could he sit in and we got 50 minutes each night of Willy for free.
very gracious, deferential to the house band, etc.
