Sadies long blond hair covers her face while she sets up for her acoustic set. Her blue eyes look up to the bar filled to the nines, old country foak. Drunk cowboys soon attempt to hit on her and she ignores them when she begins to sing. She scans the room filled with old paint peeling off the wall and wobbly bar stools.
