Not only is Mason Williams a classical guitarist + poet, he was a comedy writer on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour,
The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour + Saturday Night Live...

1. I once saw him play this song on a show

I’ve never seen a video of it , but he was playing what must have been a glass or lucite guitar , about 1/2 full of water with a goldfish swimming in it .

Have never seen it again , but then haven’t looked online for it either .

4. You Might Enjoy This

Classical Gas, but just one guitar played by one of best ever, Tommy Emmanuel.
Take a great song, let a great player interpret it, and this is what you get.

3. I Never Pass Up A Chance To Hear This Song

Love this particular clip, with all the cardboard cutouts of Mason as the orchestra.
Alas, even thought he's playing the guitar part dead on, we don't hear him playing live.
There's no mic on his guitar, so everything we're hearing is the record.
Not complaining; merely observing.
