Dick Moores used to tell me, “Once they do that, it’ll be two or three months and you’re out.” It was a test-drop to see if anyone would complain.
Dick Moores would do a lot of that from memory, and he used to try to train me to do it that way, which was impossible for me to do.
Dick used to say it was sometimes hard to deal with Skeezix and Walt because they were getting on in age, and it was easier to do some of these wacko stories with Rufus and Joel.
