1000 Deutschmarks I was walking through the main train station in Zürich in 1989, There, it was on the ground - a single, fresh, crisp 1000 Deutschmark note folded up in the middle of the train station. I grabbed it, immediately stepped back up against the wall, and start looking around for...

He's gotta John Prine in him

Indeed. Yeah the Boy can play. That’s the way ya do it. 😎
