On Being a Writer

What do New Yorkers know about country music? It does seem incongruous, the image of subway-riding, black-clad cosmopolitans tapping their toes to twanging guitars, banjos and pedal steels, but you'd be surprised how many New Yorkers love their country. Maybe it's the universality of the subject matter - we all have our hearts broken now and then, we all work hard for a paycheck that never seems big enough, and we all love to go out for a beer at the end of the day.
