"On Susan's Floor" is about a lady named Susan Brewer who indeed took in struggling young artists in Nashville. There was a documentary on tv about her several years ago. I remember Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson (who wrote "Hello Walls" while staying there and got a lot of ribbing from the other writers because they never thought it would be a hit) contributed their memories of sleeping on Susan's floor. If I remember correctly, Kris Kristofferson was there at one time, too. They had the same sentiment: If it hadn't been for Susan Brewer opening her home to starving unknowns till they got their big break, the face of American music would be extremely different.
