Irv Williams? She said go see Irv and Noble. Was Irv, Irv Williams? That’s a name I knew coming up. This is really a beautiful piece. I love her by your portrayal. Reminds me of my late brother Johnny’s tales of bigshots he occasionally met while with the Wolverines. One was Jabbo Smith, whom he gave a ride to a gig. When Johnny stopped for gas, Jabbo tried to give him money for gas. Johnny said no, that’s okay, and Jabbo said, “I’ll give you the Boy Scout.” Johnny said “What?” Jabbo pulled out a knife and said take the money, don’t make me give you the Boy Scout.
