Taylor Grocery

tonight i played a show at Taylor Grocery
after the show i sat on the front porch of the ancient place with the owner Lynn
the building used to be a gas station/grocery store back in the 40's and 50's
two black labs sat with us waiting for their owner to come out
Lynn played a dobro and sang an old Roy Acuff tune, "wreck on the highway"
the chorus talks about how nobody prayed at the crash scene
a song to cry to, especially with Lynn's high lonesome voice
there is a slow pace to this place i live
the people take their time
i sang over 30 different songs tonight
with a few new ones i wrote this past week
it's good to try new tunes at Taylor
they let you know if it is worth holding on to
it was a good night
