You got your left hand. You got your right hand. The left hand is diddling while the right hand goes to work.

Lawd, Lawd

Oh Lawd.
"The Excel spreadsheet started off to working, with its hourglass running hard there on the screen," Broonzy said. "But old Wally Peters had his pencil filling columns, throwing graphite off like locomotive steam.

"It threw graphite like a smokestack throwing steam," he added.

Wallace was a good man. I had the fortune to meet him in a hotel lobby down at some function in DC. He was signing out with a dull pencil, and sure enough, he sharpened it right in front of me... with his bare hands.

I didn't sleep too well that night.
