Thanks and no offense taken. And you can change Choose to chose. I'm retired 20 days now and loving it! And Max, you have a great memory. I was going to tell my story even before I read your post. I hope it's the same one you're thinking of. The last time I saw Nick perform with the Trio, ironically, at a theater that was opened in the 20's or 30's by my Great-grandmother who still haunts the place, Nick sang Hoboes Lullabye, but changed the line from "there'll be no policemen there" to "there'll be no-o bad guys there". I met him after the show and thanked him for that, telling him I was a cop. He just smiled at me with that impish grin. Right after the show ended, I had also picked up an envelope from a new string that George had to swap out on his banjo. When I met Nick and George after the show, I asked George to autograph the envelope for me. He graciously did so then laughingly said to me, "I'm glad you didn't pick up the string. I'd have a hell of a time signing THAT!" What's not to love about all of these guys? God bless you all, wherever you are.
