re: I miss Art too.
My favorite was the "secret government agent " call-in line. It would have been fun to script a story and call in to Art.
Saw Willie at Ceasar's Palace in Tahoe on our HoneyMoon. Aslo caught him a few years ago at the Evergreen state fair. While country is fine in moderation, I really like his Stardust album.
Where did I put that...
