Gregory Alan Isakov - The Stable Song - How'd She Know



A strange thing happened during the summer of 2018.  I was drawn, mental pictures and all, to the Looking Glass Creek in Transylvania County, North Carolina, imbedded deep in the Pisgah National Forest, to a spot where I once played, just below Sliding Rock.  I told my wife that I wanted to go there, so off we went.  I drove so Stacey could have a beer on the way.

As we approached Highway 276, which would run parallel to the Looking Glass Creek, Stacey said, "this one's for Daddy," and played the Stable Song.  I big fat tear rolled down the left side of my face, unbeknownst to Frank and Stacey.  How'd she know?
