Interesting group of stories centered around Ty Hagley, a rambling guitarist. Old Songs, the first story is his first taste of performing, backing up a former Grand Old Opry singer at a small bar in Arkansas. This gives us his background frame of referencee as a kid who hasn't had much family love.
Art Expo tells of a brief encounter with an old wanna-be musician. As Ty makes good on a promise, we feel that he is an all-right guy.
Dries' writing style moves the stories along. While the one-night stands described may rub some women the wrong way, I'm pretty confident that most men would enjoy reading this. The book obviously lacked a proofreader, but if you can tolerate a few glitches, you'll find this a nice way to pass a few hours. ( )
