I hear ya Swizz.
But I have no choice as I was the son of a Headhunter.
My father Jack Holt along with John W Galbreath and a few others were the founders of the
Headhunters club in Ohio that would travel the globe in search of big game.
At the end of the year there would be a big dinner with all of the exotic animals
that were bagged over the year.
This dinner was held at Darby Dan Farms and the Galbreath chefs would make the food
for the over one hundred people that would attend.
These dinners were amazing! they even had a member who work for National Geographic that would
give a slide show.
At the farms they had many exotic trophies a real shrunken head and stuff from all over
the world.
Mr Galbreath once saw a new gun my dad had and said "hey Jack let me check that out"
It was a Weatherby and a very nice gun, well Mr Galbreath said "WOW wish I could afford one of those"
The joke was Galbreath built skyscrapers in the United States and abroad and owned the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Once my dad went hunting with "Boots" Randolph think "Yakety Sax" (Benny Hill's signature tune)
Well they were going to one state and my dad calls my mom and says "Ida tell this bartender how to make my drink" she said "where are you?" they were in a different state altogether having a drink, I think Boots had a plane.
This is where my love I guess you could say came for odd exotic things.
Those days are gone, and men like that are gone.
