Because Farmer H was driving, we listened to country music in A-Cad. It's usually on a local station, but we get out of range about halfway to the casino, so he switches to Prime Country on SiriusXM. That's okay. I know most of those songs, from the 80s/90s, back when I met Farmer H, and was forced to listen to them then. A Vince Gill song was playing.
"He's been around a long time. Who was he with in the beginning? It was a folk/country band. I think it was Pure Prairie League. I'm pretty sure."
"No. That's not it. I know what you're talking about. But it wasn't Pure Prairie League. It was someone else. I think it was the Eagles."
"Vince Gill was NOT a member of the Eagles! He has sung with a lot of famous people over the years, but he was not in the Eagles."
"Look it up, Pony. Vince Gill in the Eagles."
"It says here that Vince Gill performed with the Eagles in 2017."
"See? I told you it was the Eagles!"
"He might have sang with them in 2017, but that's not what I asked. I want to know which band he started with, before he went solo. That was way before 2017. He was famous in the late 80s. I'm pretty sure it was Pure Prairie League. Pony! Look up Vince Gill and Pure Prairie League."
"Huh. He's from Norman, Oklahoma! He joined Pure Prairie League in 1979 and made them hit the Top 10. Then he went off on his own in 1981."
"There. I thought so. Pure Prairie League."
"It said he was in the Eagles!"
"Again, not my question."
Farmer H likes to think he knows everything. And when he doesn't, he bends the facts until it seems like he does.
