"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.

I fully agree with you on that point. I used to listen to a lot of Waylon, Willy, and Kris as a kid, and years later, after listening to so many other arttists, finding out what a big influence those men have been on these current artists. So, in the long run,Miss Brewer had some influence on many generations of musicians.
