"Folks Behind the Faces"
The fire that ate Rick’s house will have eaten his old Martin D28. Will have eaten his old Telecaster. May have left untouched the Graphite that George Coates talked Rick into buying, just like Rick should have left it on the music store wall, so Marty told him. The fire will have eaten his “Come…
