If I could play a guitar like that, I would think I had died and gone to heaven.

i love how he masked the wrong note played at 1:57, he's so calm. except for the look he gave haha

joe bangles was the real name of the guy the song was written about if you think it was dementia how did he know what notes to play u dumbass

@justachetfan Yeah almost positive that show is where I heard him do something called "Frog Kissing"! Never heard his voice before, I don't think, let alone sing an entire song.  I'd completely forgotten the spoonerism thing but your quote is right on, word for word. There'd been almost an awkward pause after his little discussion of spoonerisms, but when he came out with that line everybody genuinely cracked up. Was like a slam dunk.

LMAO AM I THE ONLY ONE TO NOTICE THAT HE SAYS MR JOE BANGLES AT THE END????

[justachetfan]

RE: Comments as to "Mr. Jo Bangles". Yes, he DID say "Jo Bangles" on purpose. He was demonstrating a Spoonerism (look up the definition). He discussed Spoonerisms on an Austin City Limits show, and told the audience, "You learn things like this by coming to these country shows." One of a kind.
