Today we're celebrating the 79th birthday of Mason Williams, classical guitarist, composer, writer, comedian and poet.

Although Williams recorded more than a dozen albums and was a comedy writer on Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour, and Saturday Night Live, he is probably best-known for his instrumental song "Classical Gas" for which he won three Grammys.
