Why this must be read:

This story is a nice complement to the Joe/Methos of the last rec. It looks backward and forward from the far end of their acquaintance, when a retired Joe sets up a new bar in Atlanta. You know who wanders in on a warm evening.

This unspools like silk, unwinds like whisky. Nice to read a new one from Maygra.




It was good place to settle, good place to work and just be, instead of do, and Joe had almost forgotten that in the past decade or so of always feeling like he had to do something.

At least he thought so, figured he'd finally settled, waiting for the last of his years to come and get him. There were worse ways to go out than to tend a bar and sing a few songs, spend an afternoon with a pretty widow watching a city re-invent itself.

When he played, he forgot about most of it, the music taking him someplace the same way a good book did. The clink of glasses as Greg tended bar, the soft murmur of voices between songs, the rush of cars on the road outside the front door.
