Confession time - I'm a little bit Country

I used to play finger picking bluegrass guitar in an Old Time country band name of Big Stone. Guess which one is me? We only played songs by dead artists so you can imagine our excitement when Johnny Cash passed on. I was never a huge Country fan, to be honest, but I did make a pilgrimage to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville last year.
These days I stick to ballads. From a musical muse perspective, I follow the fantastic Declan O'Rourke and, of course, Nick Cave's great Murder Ballads. And what is a novel, if it isn't a ballad? It has a beginning, a challenge to face and an end. All things move towards their end, of that you can be sure.
