You were around with Tink back in the day Kay-lynn. Wrote one for her called "Pickled Tink" that had all kinds of references to Harlan Iowa...her home town
Played it for her at a JPF Detroit roadshow where a bunch of us met...where we actually planned out the first Nashville meet that turned into Pineyfest.

So I'm with you all the way here....I use Google and Google earth all the time to get some realism into my words...

And I really wanted to get that feel for a merchant that sold an odd assortment ...like a deli in a hardware store...love it.
I live in Toronto and years ago I passed a little shop that was a tailor, a bookeeper, a travel agent and some merchandise.Great example of hustle!


If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
