I shook hands with Jerry Lee Lewis one night after a concert. He had a better buzz going than I did. It was in a club, and the country singer Johnny Paycheck was standing next to me much of the night. He was a nice guy, was about five feet tall, looked like he hadn't washed his hair in three days, and had quite possibly the most attractive woman I have even seen in person with him.

My favorite celebrity story was when an uncle of mine was in a bar just off Route 66 in Western Oklahoma in the late 1940's. A guy in a "stupid looking white suit" was drinking beer next to him, then finally turned and shook hands with him saying, "Hi, I'm Hank Williams". My uncle, who didn't like country music, thought Tommy Dorsey and the big bands ruled, said, "Pleased to meet you, I'm (his name)", and went back to his beer. The next day, when he told my dad about it, my dad nearly crapped his pants-Hank Williams was probably his all time musical hero.
