Not Quite Nashville


The earnest young folk singer strumming his guitar earnestly doing his best to be both entertaining and sincere

He's got the conviction of his beliefs, he's got his ideals 

He's convinced he can make a difference and provide a few insights, or at least a bit of reflection

Most of the people in the place are staring off into space, stirring drinks listlessly and wondering where to go next

Not one person aware that he's resorted to open D tuning

In the hopes of catching someone's ear with the incorporation of a riff first played by Harrison on Here Comes The Sun

A couple gets up to dance to a song that was never meant to be danced to, and the balladeer lets out a frustrated sigh

Should have seen that coming, with the shuffle beat and all

There are twenty or so folks in the place tonight, there are twenty or so bored and disinterested people tapping their toes

And all the earnest kid wants to do is get through his set
