There are some great stories in both of these, particularly for those like me who enjoyed the evolution of country music over the last 65+ years. I lived in Tarzana for a couple miserable year, but it was 2 blocks up from the Ernie Ball guitar shop. Hanging out there was my escape. Lotta good country musicians would drop by on the way to gigs at Corriganville and play the latest pedal steel, strats and telecasters.

Me and Bobby McGee is one of the first songs I learned to play on guitar having heard Janice Joplin's version so many times.

So...Willie Nelson is the last man standing.
