Song Title: Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town
Artist: Pearl Jam
----------------------------------------------

Ament wrote a pretty easy bassline for this song, but sometimes it's not
the difficulty that makes music special, but instead, the feel and soul
you put into it.  And don't forget to add those "little things" that give
a song flavor. (just listen to the song a couple of times, you'll hear what
I mean)
