You don’t say much my friend, but when you do it’s to the point, and I salute you for it.

Moral fiber? I invented moral fiber! Pappy O’Daniel was displaying rectitude and high-mindedness when that egghead you work for was still messing his drawers!

Great Soundtrack by the way. Big Rock Candy Mountain is especially catchy.

My (once removed) brush with celebrity story: The actor that plays Delmar is Tim Blake Nelson. He and my late wife went to high school together at Holland Hall Preparatory School in Tulsa, OK. She walked with him at graduation. So I was uh… dating the girl that walked next to TBN at graduation; back when he was 18. (1982). Hmmm that sounded much cooler in my head.
