That's a great story. Speaks to the character of the man. I doubt an artist of his stature would have the luxury of being able to be that cozy with his audience these days, unless it was a country star. Audiences of country music artists tend to demonstrate a different level of respect for them, and vice versa.

As an aside, I have a letter, signed by Eleanor Roosevelt, which was sent to my uncle, a prominient labor leader of the 50's. I doubt it would generate the same level of interest as that tie. :wink:

My late cousin Jerry Wexler would have disagreed. :wink:
