The setting for this story is the rural southeast, in the Smoky Mountains, in the 1930?s when most homes had no electricity. Television was in the experimental stages and most radios in homes were powered by batteries that required frequent changing. Our country was in a deep depression and few homes subscribed to newspapers that carried yesterday?s news. Those fortunate enough to own a battery-powered radio valued it highly. So the stage is set for my story. For those who are not familiar with Boogie Woogie, it was a rhythm with eight beats to the bar usually played on a piano as a fast paced three chord blues that begs to be danced to.
