While recollections of Farrar's parents and his formative childhood in the Missouri Ozarks are prominent throughout the stories, it is music and musicians that are given the most space and the final word, since music has been his creative impetus and driving force. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn writing these stories, Farrar found a natural inclination to focus on very specific experiences; a method analogous to the songwriting process.
