Went to high school with Anson in Plano Texas. Hung out listening to him play out in a barn somewhere in a field. Think is was his grandfather's place. He is a super nice low key guy and loved to just hang out. Even after he got sorta famous I would see him at a club playing and he always remembered me and we would catch up. Now we're 70 years old. Haven't seen him in a long while but hope to see a show this year.
Anson is a legend. I couldn’t help but laugh when he downplayed his guitar skills - the guy’s playing is about as slick as it gets. The kid interviewing him reminded me of Chris Farley playing himself on Saturday Night Live when he interviewed various celebrities.
