I sang some of my dad’s favorite songs by Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. He asked to hold the guitar. “When I was facing prison for the Pentagon Papers I thought maybe I would learn to play the guitar. But I wondered— do they let you have guitars in prison?”

Love this. One of my most fond memories is of you visiting us in Big Sur and playing the piano after a simple dinner of rice and squash from the garden.

HaHaHa @DanielEllsberg glad that you didn't have to test that hypothesis! THANK YOU for your mentoring of me, for serving on the advisory board of @GlobalSolutions, and for working to stave off the apocalypse. After all, just one atom bomb would ruin an awful lot of guitars...
