...during the filming of Me, Myself and Irene when we lived in Vermont. He was quite cordial.

My wife and I were featured in one of those Austin City Limits applause shots between songs when we went to see Johnny Cash and family.

My mom and dad and I were featured in background shots when I took them to see Chet Atkins' Austin City Limits.

My dad actually helped write a song with the great Tom Lehrer. They were filming A GATHERING OF EAGLES with Rock Hudson at Beale AFB, where I lived as a kid. My dad was assigned to Tom Lehrer to give him a taste of what Base life was like, and they ended up writing a song that was cut from the movie. I still remember a verse of it, which is pretty funny actually.

"A fighter pilot is known by the way he makes his pass.
A bomber pilot is known by the rank he does amass.
But a tanker pilot's unique by the way he passes gas..."

My dad flew KC 135s, which of course, were the 'flying gas stations' of that era.
