Heard this Saturday at a guitar shop and I recalled the recent thread here about how many times "Free Bird" has been played.
To the absolute delight of some,who consider it an "anthem" of sorts; and those others, who shriek for relief when it starts.
Anyway the story goes like this:
Two ole boys up there at Moundsville state prison house in W. Va. had exhausted their last appeal and were to be electrocuted one right after the other.
The warden told em, "boys, I'll try to grant ya a last wish if I can".
The first ole boy said: "ya know, I was a banjo picker fore I got up here, and I'd like just one more chance to play Foggy Mountain Breakdown".
Warden sez: "well I think I can arrange that-un alright, how about what you want" he said to number two.
"Well, if it weren't too much trouble, could you kill me first" ?
You ever feel those sentiments Rusty1953 ?
