Chapter 9 - Moonlight in (a Bar in) Vermont

Mary and her dog Shorty moved into a little apartment (actually, the band room) over the Somewhere Restaurant in Fair Haven, and to pay her rent, she washed dishes downstairs.

Me & my best friend

Winter in Vermont –beautiful but COLD!

Isn't it sweet? One night she's singing at the coliseum for 20,000 people, and a few weeks later, she's washing dishes - and she chose to be a musician because...?

Anyway, her apartment was right over the Somewhere bar, so when she had a phone call, the bartender would take a broom and pound on the ceiling to let Mary know to come downstairs.

She also took a temporary job at a bank in nearby Rockledge to support herself (and her kids back in Colorado with her mom and dad), and after spending a very cold winter (-50 degrees one morning) in Vermont, when the spring of 1987 rolled around, she and her faithful mutt Shorty headed to Nashville, Tennessee.
