EX-BEATLE DRESSES UP DREAMS

Shop talk.

Whenever the National Western Stock Show comes to town, Denver's own Rockmount Ranch Wear, 1626 Wazee St., attracts attention from shoppers seeking the snap-front shirts invented by company founder Jack A. Weil.

Recently, third-generation owner Steve Weil was approached by a female shopper.

"How did Paul McCartney get his Rockmount shirts?" she asked Weil.

"He bought them," he replied.

"Where?" she asked.

Weil: "We don't know, but would you ask him when you see him?"

Shopper: "I only see him in my dreams."

Weil: "Would you ask him next time?"

Shopper: "In my dreams, we never talk."
