Happy Birthday, Harrison
The Hammock Papers notices. My favorite Harrison story also comes from Rob:
"Harrison, a very private person, was desperate to get rid of them (birdwatchers). He tried a sign: THE F*#@ing MOCKINGBIRD IS DEAD. But the birders stayed put. Harrison got out his .357 Magnum and fired it into the air. That didn't work either. He finally put a tape of Mexican ranchero music on his car stereo and cranked up the volume. That worked. The crowd began to disperse. One birder approached Harrison and asked what it would take to get permission to come on his property to see the bird. Harrison considered this. 'I told him it would take a million dollars,' he says, still half affronted at the insult to his privacy. 'In cash.'"
When all else fail, Mexican ranchero music.
Christmas is coming, why not pick up some Harrison?
