My Daddy Was a Pistol and I'm a Son of a Gun | Lewis Grizzard
Lewis Grizzard always made us laugh. But in My Daddy Was a Pistol and I'm a Son of a Gun, when he told all about his father a certified war hero and a shameless passer of bad checks; a charmer of men and women and a consummate con artist; a man of great courage and an alcoholic destined to drink himself to death he made us cry, too. And he gave us a hilarious, moving account of that "tender, spooky territory: that country of the heart inhabited by fathers and sons."
