One night, in early 1975, when I was 18, I was sitting around a table, here in Nashville. We'd been sitting around the table, pursuing those things people did, in '75. After awhile, I told everyone I was going to walk home. As I was standing up to leave, there was a knock at the door. I was asked to see who it was, on my way out. I opened the door, and there stood a fairly intoxicated Kristofferson. "Tell everybody we're goin' to Newbury's boat." So, I relayed the message. As everyone was getting in the cars, I started to walk home. someone yelled, " Hey ! Where you goin' ?" It was Kris. I explained that I was going home, not figuring I was invited. "Get in the car, we're all goin' to Newbury's." We'd been there awhile, when, while laughing at something he'd said, himself, Kris leaned back, and fell off the boat. Being 18, and alarmed that kris Kristofferson had just fallen into Old Hickory lake, I went o help him. Mickey grabbed my arm, and said, "Don't encourage him.." So, I sat down. Pulling himself back onto the boat, glass now full of lake water, Kris held it up, and said " G**damnit, Nebury ! Now i've got proof you've been watering down the booze.." That was my first time meeting Mickey..
