Last week I said I’d post a photograph of my dear friend Lindsey
Enderby. Turns out I had lunch with the boy yesterday along with his friend and
mine, Lucky Bill Parrish, the renowned cowboy baritone and all ‘round good guy
from Richmond, Virginia. In a wide-ranging conversation over bountiful burgers
at the Taos Ale House, Bill and I circled around to the fact that we had both met
Lindsey at his legendary cowboy emporium, Horse Feathers, Bill in 1994 and I around 2004.
Lindsey takes in strays, so we immediately joined his band of merrymen and
have grown into late middle age while in his thrall.
I posited that if there are six degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon there
are precisely 1.3 degrees from Lindsey Enderby meaning that if you ask Jim Bob
in Harlan County, Kentucky if he knows Lindsey, he will, he will have met him
at Horse Feathers even though Jim Bob has never left the holler. It’s a
miracle of science and a mystery of the universe I’m telling you.
In the image above Lindsey is doing his best Will Rogers impression, an aw shucks persona behind which lurks a steely eyed ex-lawyer, student body president at SMU and all post football champeen in his Army Reserve days. It was taken in the late, much missed Horse Feathers store in late April 2008.
Ten years. How they fly.
Ten years. How they fly.

A fine portrait, Amigo, in both pixels and words, of a fine fellow!
Loving this series, Steve, and thank goodness for 1.3 or any degrees of separation for that matter as well as for folks who take in strays! Great photograph and text to match. Well done!
Thanks you two. You keep my blog afloat all by yourselves.
