    “They said, “You have a blue guitar,
    You do not play things as they are.”

    “An accent mark, perhaps, instead of a whole western accent—a point of punctuation rather than a uniform twang. That is how it should be worn: as a quiet point of character reference, an apt phrase of sartorial allusion—macho, sotto voce.”
    —Phil Patton (b. 1953)
