 Nowadays  there's  few  country songs I like but this one caught my ear. "Tin Man," not only i like  to listen to it but it  took me back to my childhood  when i first saw The Wizard of Oz. One day in the old neighborhood  all children were invited to go over to a family's house (name i forgot)  to see the movie  in a black and white TV. Some years ago while working at Sam's Club  here in Moorhead some of these children  I got to see .  Their father used to cleaned take care of the Catholic church when he died sister Connie and I cousin  Elvira was  there too at his funeral. One day at that poor neighborhood  housewife mother of these children was sitting down outside her house crying she missed one of her daughter's who a man had taken in marriage had promised to bring her home for visits but never did.   When my father died Barbara  told me to get really we were going to visited our parents  in Crystal City she didn't tell me father had died. Her husband Salinas stopped in Zapata to gas up. As I was on the back seat i told Barbara i don't know why but i feel father is doing very well his not hurting anymore .When we got home this is the family i saw outside our home  then i knew they were waiting to comfort mourned with us.
