    Do love Dave from the early beginning shows to today! Made me get through many late nights wide awake as a "kid" to approach the next day. A modest genius of my lifetime following him into me being an "old man" of 53 now!

      I started watching him in 1987 when I was 8. Had an old small tv in my room at 9 after much begging to watch his show. He was there through my teen years. My college years. My troubled years. My becoming an adult years until he retired now 5 years ago almost to the day. I left work early, took the subway down to the Sullivan Theater and stood around with a bunch of other people on the day of his retirement, just absorbing it all in. A lifetime of him being there at 12:30 and 11:30 no matter what kind of day life had thrown at me. He was there making me laugh to soften the blow. I miss him tremendously.

    Letterman has probably heard this Thoreau quote before, but it's worth repeating: "Many go fishing all their lives without knowing it's not fish they are after." I never regret not catching a fish, because simply in pursuing them, I will be in some of the most beautiful places on earth. How could I lose?

    When I was a lot younger, there were just a few reasons that I wanted to go to New York. One was to go to a Dave Letterman show, just wanted to see Dave in person! I missed out, there will never be another late show host like Dave! The guys that came along after him just don't hold a candle!

  • @jackpinesavage1628
    @jackpinesavage1628 Před 5 lety +3

    I never tried to fly fish like Dave & Willie did in this video. I use a spin casting rod the same way my grandfather taught me, like a conductor in an orchestra. It drives the fish nuts. I catch Northern pike, brook trout, small mouth bass, blue gill and perch. Clean 'em, roll 'em in corn meal and fry 'em in Crisco. Yum! Yum!

  • @hgj2019
    @hgj2019 Před 3 lety +2

    5:40 - David has been saying this "I'll not be around for long" in terms with how long he will be with his son, as he is an older father. However Harry has been lucky to have David around since he was born in 2003. 16 years. I only had my dad around for 10 years, when he died from lung cancer when I was ten in 1995. So Harry should count his blessings to have David around for as long as possible, because when your dad is dead, that is hard, trust me, I know.

    • @mikefannon6994
      @mikefannon6994 Před 3 lety +2

      Just lost my dad last year, he was 90. I was so lucky to have him around my whole life! Especially the last couple of years helping take care of him. By spending lots of time, listening to stories about his childhood and adult life we got close and healed from all the strife of the past. Spend time with your loved ones while you can.

    • @johnking5174
      @johnking5174 Před 3 lety

      @@mikefannon6994 Well my dad died in November 1995. I was 10. I remember the day very well. It is burned onto my memory and never goes away. I was at my grandparents home, my mother went to visit dad in hospital as usual. He knew he was dying from lung cancer which spread all over his body. He died very peacefully with my mother and grandfather at his bedside, sadly I wasn't there. He left instructions not to bring me to the hospital to see him, as he didn't want me, 10 years old at the time, to see his dad die from that horrible cancer. I was with my grandmother and uncle in their home. Our priest came to the house at 4.30pm to inform me. I can remember it right now as I type this to you.

    • @Valkonnen
      @Valkonnen Před 3 lety

      I can speak for Dave, as I am getting up there myself. When you are younger, you know very well that someday you won't be around and it's just a simple fact of life. However when you get older. Ten years flies by in away that it just didn't when you were younger and you see how much ten years changes you physically after a certain point. All I can say is that you become part of a whole new reality that you've never experienced. I tell kids every single day, who spend their lives gaming while there is whole world right outside. They'll never be as young or feel as good as they do right now. Someday they'll be so achy and tired that they'll really regret their lost life, but at that point it's too late.
