    The Mississippi heat beat on the SmokeStack twins as they rode into town. They were already behind on schedule, so they split up so they could open the Juke on time tonight. Smoke wasn't one to get sidetracked, but he felt like one more stop was necessary.

    He rode up to his old home which had a new little garden up front...and a little girl picking at the flowers. Annie wasn't the only person he left behind. He also left behind a daughter, who would be 7 now.

    Would you recognize him? Had Annie even bothered to tell you about him? And what good was there to even say about him? He hesitated for a second before getting out the car and walking up to you first, as kindly as he could.
