Abstract
As songwriters step inside Kent Finlay’s Cheatham Street Warehouse every Wednesday night in San Marcos, Texas, perhaps the most frequently asked question of the bartender and others gathered inside is,"Is the list out yet?" Of course, the "list," which the bartender does not put out until eight o’clock (bar time), is a sign-up sheet for songwriters who hope to perform that night.
Hopefuls eagerly check out the Budweiser Light clock behind the bar in anticipation, aware that their position on the sign-up sheet might determine whether they perform two songs or only one, depending on the number of names on the list.
