Next we meet one of Vidalia's coworkers, Jenny Rolls. She is a veteran waitstaff type of person, with evident competence and inner strength. She tells of her journey from chattel wifery to capable individual.
Roller Derby was sweeping the land when I wrote this. In my town its effects were seismic. It was a gushing fountain of self-realizations and affairs and divorces, sweeping and smashing all the ill-made marriages and mesalliances to flinders. A first-marriage destruction engine. I figured the newly empowered ladies who practiced the sport would appreciate a song that musically mimicked the rhythm and pace and faintly sinister undercurrent of the sport.
This song has no particular antecedent. It's just what happens sort of naturally when you combine fingerpicking the key of D minor.
