It has been a long time since I have written or published, but the tide has change. My ship has come in and I plan to sail off... Figuratively. The Perfect Country and Western Story - The title was tongue in cheek. Steve Goodman and John Prine wrote the country song, "You Never Even Called Me by My Name' and David Allan Coe recorded it.  I always love the part of the song where Coe talks about why the song isn't The Perfect Country and Western Song because there was no mention of Mama, Trains, Trucks, Prison or Getting Drunk.
