very encouraging to beginner musicians such as I was at the time, and
I sure learned a lot from him. He taught me that you didn't need to be
perfect to play for dances, and that to do so on a regular basis is
great practice, because you get to play the tunes over and over.
Doc told me the words to the tune "Cuckoo's Nest" were really filthy,
and he sang it for me once and it was true! Now it's hard for me to
play that tune without thinking of Doc.
