The story of a man and his guitar.
Trigger is the guitar.
Willie is the master.
I have seen Willie in concert twice and this guitar is a physical extension of him – he has a deep relationship with this particular instrument. It is sweet, when you watch him play. Many folks don’t know what an amazing guitar player he is. Go to Google. Search Willie and then go to videos and watch this guy play. He and Trigger have a great relationship.

Dudley Moore and Peter Cook were the Cheech and Chong. of London in the late 60s and 70s. Brilliant characters, lewd, revealing stories, brave and unremorseful vulgar humor.
They are familiar to you all, from movies and such but in America, they didn’t do much together.
In Jolly England, they were part of the amazing comedy team performing “Beyond The Fringe.” which eventually translated into television and moved into the lore of comedy.
