Jim Sparrow, Captain Jack Sparrow's "better looking brother," not only read at Friday's session of Literary Lunches, he also played guitar to a packed house (room 159). The younger Sparrow's reading selections were How I Became a Pirate and Pirates Don't Change Diapers both written by Melinda Long and illustrated by David Shannon.
Sparrow was in full pirate regalia and had with him his trusty mate, a Martin guitar. And while he read, his ship "The Great Gatsby," was docked on the Red River near Applebee's. Sparrow also explained that his brother Jack is more well-known because of the trouble he gets into. Jim's relative anonymity is the product of his good behavior, including a dry ship.
Toward the end of the second lunch session, one of Sparrow's crew members showed up, a mate that suggested that the Dr. Seuss classic, Green Eggs and Ham, is a cookbook.
