This is the actual photograph of the broken hand referred to in the story.

The story is contained in the song, so I won't be redundant by telling it here again.  It's a remarkable story about coping and rising above one's misfortunes.  It's a real story about a real person I met on the Streets of Bakersfield---those golden streets Homer Joy and Buck Owens put on the map with their song---The Streets of Bakersfield. 

In this game I call blog n roll, I provide the topic and the tunes.   You provide the talk.  So if you'd listened to the song (posted above the pic in the left-hand corner) and you'd like to talk, share a little something about an obstacle that has planted itself in the middle of one of your dreams, and tell us what you did to either cope with that obstacle, or remove it. 

Ready?  Set?  BLOG N ROLL!

The song is scheduled to be added soon to my forthcoming CD, From Buck Owens Blvd. to Merle Haggard Drive.
