Always wondered where Patterson was - thanks, Guitar.
I saw Smokey's shop many years ago when he was still alive, but didn't have the nerve to annoy him.
Met him a couple times at the PRI show and chatted briefly; fascinating guy and not to be trifled with.
His autobiography is likewise fascinating, with some amazing stories of his exploits in WW2.
Lots of smuggling and unflattering activity went on in the Pacific Theatre...
