| True story. I built a tobacco store for Steve Zevon several years ago. It was a brand-new store and we had to fight the building inspectors to get it open. When it finally DID open, I put down my carpenter belt and manned the cash register until help could be hired. Business was slow those first few days, and I spent the time making posters for the naked windows. One was a depiction of the Doonsbury charactor "Mr.Butts"...a talking cigarette...and below it the caption "You'll Love Our Butts!" Steve had a great sense of humor and kept the sign in place. Many months...maybe a couple of years...later, I saw his weekly advertisements in the local paper. "You'll Love our butts!" was the official slogan. One day after being away from the store for many months I stopped in to buy some cigars. I asked the cashier how Steve was doing. Her jaw dropped and she said"Not too well: he died yesterday." This uncanny synchronicity assured I would make it to his funeral, which I did. Best Smokes is still in business, doing what Steve had wanted it to do: providing his family with consistant income. Sunshine sits on the newly-laid carpet, in front of the humidore I built. These photos are of best Smokes #2, which i also assisted in building the interior of.

Banjo music and compliments about "purdy lips" in the same sentence frighten me. (It might be "mouth" instead of "teeth", but I'm gettin' this canoe OUTTA HERE PRONTO!) |
