I was with my friends Steve and Elaine, looking at CDs at a Circuit City (say, this was a while back!). I paused over Rhino’s “Appalachian Stomp” disk, and Elaine asked me what I was looking at.
“Well,” I said, “This looks like it has all the bluegrass pieces I ever felt like playing. It even has the Ballad of Jed Clampett. Here’s Foggy Mountain Breakdown, Orange Blossom Special, Rocky Top, Dueling Banjos…”
“That’s my brother,” she said. I looked confused, and she explained that her brother, Steve Mandell (not to be confused with her husband of the same first name), played guitar on the cut — for which he got [no byline and] not a lot of money.
After that, I just had to get it, and, to make a long story short— The End. Drive safely.
edited to set off the part on which I was corrected [I’d rather have put a line through it]
