ack pulled a squalling burr out of the harmonica, flattened a little from a fall off the
skittish
bay mare, and Ennis had a good raspy voice; a few nights they mangled their way through some songs.

Southendmd,
You're welcome! It's one of my favorite of Annie's descriptions from the short story, of the many, so I couldn't resist when I saw the letter J. Ha! So evocative - what a great story and film.

Next up is letter
.
Each post will begin with a word that starts with
the letter "K" and, as usual, include an unplayed word.
Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana co-wrote
the Oscar-winning screenplay for
Brokeback Mountain
.
McMurtry uses a Hermes 3000 typewriter for scriptwriting,
whereas Ossana prefers using a computer. We're going to have the "K"
from her computer keyboard assist us with this round, so please
be sure to include the following symbol at the beginning of your post:
