Since there are no takers yet, how 'bout an additional quote from the same story?
"He's travelled a long way around, and by his look, he's never married, but always travelled, as some men do, crazy to change their scenery every week, every month, every year, until they reach an age where they are collecting nothing at all but a lot of empty trips and a lot of towns with no more subtance to them than movie sets and a lot of people in those towns who are about as real as wax dummies seen in lighted windows late at night as you pass by on a slow, black train."
Also this story has gone by two different titles. Either will do.
Its a story that may make you smile and laugh.

Yep.
Hi, The title of the Bradbury story quoted is " A Far Away Guitar" (BRADBURY STORIES 2003). OR its "Miss Bidwell" in the beautifully produced 2008 volume of Green Town stories SUMMER MORNING, SUMMER NIGHT.
Who will post the next challenge?This message has been edited. Last edited by: Linnl,

Nice one, BT - it was definitely a gettable answer. I checked about 6 or 7 stories but not the right one.
I've had two turns recently, so we need new blood.

Somebody, anybody, please post your quote. It has been almost three months. Thank you.
"And if you wondered what Time sounded like it sounded like water running in a dark cave and voices crying and dirt dropping down upon hollow box lids, and rain."

Is the layout of the text significant? (Is this a poem? It looks like one!)
