The Hock Shop, and a Hummingbird for sale. Old magic and strange smells and the guitar on your side. Instruments of all types hanging from wall pegs. Guitars, banjos, mandolins. Each one hanging quietly like tacked up butterflies spilling color and the promise of beauty. A pin through it like the others, sold.
