The telling of this roller tale is better though than what was on the telly. Funny, how words can evoke the essence, beauty, grace, thrill, roughness and gruffness, and sheer longing of a slice of life with far more depth, understanding and pleasure than those pale broadcasts could ever hope to do.<br /><br />A rollin' joy to read.Matthew S.
