There’s a mistake in the intro, but it’s understandable. It’s hard for me to keep up with my story sometimes! I was busy being a mama at fifteen. I never dreamed of traveling with a band back then, especially one that had legends like Mike Henderson, Tammy Rogers, Chris Stapleton or that banjo pickin’ Richard Bailey in it. But I married the banjo guy when my son went away to college. I traveled with the SteelDrivers on the weekends, selling merch and working the doors at their shows surrounded by some of the best writers and storytellers in Nashville. I was also working full time as a pediatric cardiac sonographer and it was hard, but man, it was an experience I’ll never forget. Those guys and gals, like Elkin, were so supportive and encouraging and they helped me find the courage to call myself a writer. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
