One of the things I really enjoy about reading Wes' stories (as well other authors) is the exposure to interesting places, interesting pursuits, and interesting music. A set of stories on SOL got me back into surf music, and I imagine I'll be hunting down some Hobo Jim music.
Thanks!

Good, we've got some Hobo Jim fans on here! Steam Train John is quite obviously modeled on him and I hope I managed to fuzz it up a little.
Bristlecone Pine -- if that song doesn't reach out and grab you nothing can. I sure would like to hear Myleigh perform that!
Some of the most fun evenings I can recall is sitting around the back of Audie's in Mackinac City listening to Jim play. I can tell some stories!
One of my favorite Hobo Jim songs is "Iditarod Trail" (can you imagine that?) "Lady Lee" is another great favorite. The concept of Jenny's "Dawnwalker" can actually be traced to another Hobo Jim song, "The F/V Mary Ann". When you get to novelty songs, "Dramamine Fisherman" will make a brief appearance in a future story if I don't edit it out. And then, if you want to get right down to the nitty gritty, "Sarah, Sarah".
Those of you that aren't familiar with him don't know what you're missing.
