Noel, I have heard the Noel and Dick car golf story, and I laughed as hard now as the first time I heard it. It brought back the memory of playing golf with you and Dick in Lancaster, Pa. just before the trio's performance at the American Music Theatre. I am believing the year was 2003 or 2004. You and I had talked many times about getting together for golf and here it was golf with Noel and Dick! I played badly and Dick was very encouraging and kind, you played well for a course you had never seen before. You hit those Ping clubs pretty well as I recall. Dick was also so very complementary at the joy of working with you over the years and about your amazing prowess both as a songwriter and your extraordinary guitar prowess. I had prepared baskets or Lancaster County Goodies for everyone. It was truly one of my enduring memories; golf with you and Dick. You and I have threatened to play again many times, but the putt has never rolled in. Hope springs eternal. I think of Dick often, a wonderful person and a master musician. Rest in Peace my friend.
didn't you and Denny play something along the lines of Prophets in space ? my family was known for looking at funerals as an exercise in holding back laughter....it was how we dealt with grief. we just had to look at one another and know what each other were thinking . we were wickedly bad at especially intense funerals,all suppressed of course which made it all the worse !

Gee, If Big Al Reinhardt and I would have done the same, we could have saved ourselves much torture!!!
