Country music fan attends Dick Curless, Bill Anderson and Justin Tubb at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto.

Mr. Dick Curless, with his trademark eyepatch, performs Wrinkled, Crinkled, Wadded Dollar Bill, a Vince Matthews (himself apparently something of a character...) composition. Curless was the first to record the song, though it’s more associated with The Johnny Cash. But I think this version by Mr. Curless stands up rather well. It will take second best to no other.

Dick Curless takes a bow

SO BURY THE BOTTLE WITH ME, FOR IT’S WHAT TORE ME DOWN

There's a stone in yonder graveyard with my name carved in it deep

It don't tell my life story, these things it can't repeat

I never had a family, I never took a wife

All I had was a bottle and I drank away my life

So bury the bottle with me for it's what tore me down

So I won't be alone tonight when they put me in the ground

When they lower my body down

A drunkard is a sinner, on this I place no doubt

Oh, the Lord won't share his palace with the things he lives without

For the bottle is the devil and drinking is his name

Now the bottle is what took my soul and petrified my brain
