Hey Tim-
Seems like another journal type poem, which is by the by just fine- spice it up some and this concept could take ya a long way. I'll go with ya.
Tobacco Road reminds me of the song by that name that we used to play in our Becker brothers band, a couple centuries ago. Really fun tune, and my brother Lee 'The Flea' always tore it up on bass.
Any piece that brings back memories is a good 'un.
Thanks,
Mark
Tobacco Road, The Nashville Teens, 1964. Our version went double time near the end so that Lee could fly us back home... Their bass player played it shitty. Lee walked it properly.

pps. They were actually a British band, and seemed to have missed the British invasion of the '60s
