This is a good song

Just finished "Chinaberry Sidewalks" by Rodney Crowell and thought of this song every time I picked up the book. I highly recommend it.

A possible reason for the "One W. Harper" is a play on words on the label-the capital "I" was sometimes mistaken (by some people who allegedly didn't read very well) as the number "1", and it seems Guy liked the 1dea- like the K-Roger grocery stores? He's dropped those colloquialisms in several songs, 1've noticed.

Anyone know why he wrote it as "One W. Harper" instead of I.W. Harper? I can see how the mistake can be made but I'd like to know if there's a story behind it.

@johnhockings Thanks. It really is great. I just wish the whole series were cheaper and easier to collect. Oh well, I guess a project's always welcome.

No sweat, and I agree with your motives entirely. :) Hope you're well too, and what a great version it is.
