    it was as if a light turned on, when Harley got behind the mic. He loves to entertain for sure!
    One of the things that has me coming back to your current series of Route 66, is that I'm painting artwork for the upcoming centennial of Route 66.. So all of your videos are inspirational for me to keep creating! I love what you do, and also the passion you have for this landmark road. Keep up the good work!

    This guy is amazing. Truly amazing. I would love to see his place and all the really cool pieces that him and his wife have collected and saved over the years. I know antiques and vintage items and he’s sitting on a gold mind but I am so glad that he is keeping it all together for people to see that’s the whole point of all of it.

    • @johng5710

      He really is sitting on a gold mine, but he won’t sell anything and I respect his decision. I’m just wondering what happens to all of it when he passes away.

      @@johng5710 I agree with you 100% there are so many pieces there that he has that are probably extremely rare. I think it would be really cool if somebody could open a museum on route 66 for just pieces like these I feel like they should be on display for people to see and enjoy, hopefully it doesn’t all get auctioned off, but that’s probably what will happen one day when he’s gone
