Under a hot Savannah sun, with an oddly-sexed orphan, a small boat carries bluegrass picker Glenn Brass up the river.
Yes, upriver, a sleepy and most peculiar island plantation lies in wait for our Brother Brass. There, he will sit down to dinner. And Brass will pass gumbo to ghosts of James Brown, Martin Luther King, and one impossible pickpocket. Then in will waltz the late Gary Cooper.
Up the river, on The Island, the old folks on the old homestead, they ain't what they used to be. And strange things unseen will kill all that is left of Glenn Brass's hunger.
