How did a guy
selling real estate and advertising in Atlanta,
finally running away from home at the ripe old age of 27,
to a four-year odyssey in music city but always
on the outside looking in, leaving never to return,
settling down in Dallas, Texas with a beautiful wife
and three children, sitting down at a grand piano
on a bright blue Saturday morning with a black
and white composition book, a good cup of coffee, finally decide
to tell the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth?
