The man half-laughed and said "thanks man" in this unbelievably silky southern drawl, and I drove off.

That wasn't Jim Burr. Jim is a born and bred New Yorker (upstate I do believe). My wife has met him a half a dozen times (that is another story) and I heard him a give one time. No southern drawl.
