My grandfather had calling cards.
I can't remember all the text but I wish I could.
The first line on the card was "Have Banjo, Will Travel."
It went on to describe the types of events for which he was available: Shin Kickins, Rooster Fights, Weddings,...........
He called himself Captain Ernie Hall the last. ( He had no brothers or male cousins.)
He went to meet his final reward more than thirty years ago but sometimes I still miss the old codger.
He would often, for no apparent reason, share a bit of his philosophy in one line sayings.
The one I've been remembering lately for reasons I won't explain: "We grow too soon old and too late schmart."
Ain't that the truth???!!!
Shalom, Y'all
