Wish I could have been there, Mance is The Man. He sure did somethin' for me! May his memory and music last forever, he is one of the greatest songsters of all time.
I met Mance in Boulder, Colorado in 1972 standing outside a club he was playing at there. A guy in the crowd there said Mance had given his brother some guitar lessons at one time and asked Mance if it was true that he had an engraving on the back of his gold tooth. Mance pulled it out and showed it to us and sure enough, on the back of the tooth was engraved an acoustic guitar and the name Mance Lipscomb. An awesome memory!
I was looking for the caste on Mance's right hand finger like I've seen in so many videos. I respect the sculptor's decision and exquisite realistic portrayal of Navasota's gift to the world. Mance has been a favorite for years.
