DON How ya doin’, Kim?

KIM Not bad. Why are you so down?

DON Nothin’ worth talkin’ about.

KIM Come on, Don. What’s up?

DON Went lookin’ for a new gig again. Two more joints. (to waiter) Jim Beam, straight up. (to Kim) You set?

KIM (points to glass of beer) Yeah. Same old, same old?

DON Same old tune. One only books rock bands. Says they draw bigger crowds. Other one specializes in country. Thought I might slip under the wire there, but no such luck. The things I like to sing about aren’t at the top of the country music charts. I ain’t interested in done-me-wrong love songs or ones about men who can’t get their acts together.

KIM Well, that’s kind of a problem, given that country music practically began in West Virginia. WWVA Jamboree has been around longer than I’ve been alive.
