    I remember that Thunderhead. I saw it on two consecutive nights in Sacremento a few years ago. The first night I was heading back to my car when he popped up from behind a sunset and asked me for money so that he could get to Bakersville. I bought it and gave him $5. The next night he jumped out from behind a dark cloud and gave me the same dog and pony show, not remembering me. I offered him my lightning rod but kept on moving.

    Nay, it was not quiet enough.
