Bill Withers has become much more mentioned, lately.
I played poker with him once, without even knowing who he was. I was 'officer of the day' as a cadet, at our AF Academy performance building the nite he had a concert there. I was playing bs poker ( you know, "I bet ten thousand dollars!") at the duty desk as the warm-up act was playing when this guy walks up and asks if he can join us. We play for about 10 minutes, the warm-up is winding up, and this guy gets up, says, "I guess it's time to go to work", and walks into the audience entrance to the hall. I went over to check it out, and he's walking up on stage, and picking up his guitar. Yep. Bill Withers. regular guy.
