Scott,

Now how about that! You're from Youngstown, thats some coincidence.

Well, I was'nt sure where to situate this, so I picked a spot after corresponding with Kevin Pearson. He's from Ohio too, and told me a couple of things about the state. Actually that was for another song Im working on, but decided to use the imagery in this one as well. Its a little risky business these days, where artists won't do anything that is not from their own state. Still I think Ohio is interesting, as the whole downfall of steel mill industry, and industry in general, represents important changes in society over the last three decades (at least), so that makes Ohio, and Youngstown in particular, a good spot for a song about "change" (the BIG word this season :-)), and how to find valuable things in times of stagnation.

Im very happy you think it seems authentic. I agree very much with your comments and suggestions, your inputs will contribute to make the lyric even more authentic, Scott.

Thanks a lot!
