“Top Shelf”
Willie Nelson

Brazilian agate, garnet, amethyst, red coral, red art glass, carved bone head, horse hair and a beautiful, arrowhead for a nose.

“Sitting on the roof of the White House in Washington D.C., late at night with a beer in one hand and a fat “Austin Torpedo” in the other, I drifted into a reflective mood.
My companion on the roof- it couldn’t do him any good to use his name, except I should say President Carter knew nothing about this and would not have condoned it - was pointing out to me the sights and the layout of how the streets run in Washington. “That string of lights is Pennsylvania Avenue,” my companion would say between drags on the joint and swallow of beer. “The tower all lit up over there is the Washington Monument. You can see Constitution Avenue, and there’s the Capital and the Potomac River, and down a few blocks is the Watergate building.”
It was a good way to soak up a geography lesson, laid back on the roof of the White House. Nobody from the Secret Service was watching us – or if they were, it was with the intentions of keeping us out of trouble instead of getting us into it.”
