Ballad Of
Sally Rose
Coming down the interstate
in her daddy’s convertible, a young woman picks up a handsome Sioux
Indian hitching his way back home to Rapid City. It’s is fire at first
sight-and she takes him all the way.
They set up house, and
things soon begin to cool down. When a baby girl is born whom neither one
wants, he leaves for new horizons, she goes back to her monthly allowance
and Sally Rose is abandoned to the land of her fathers.
The day finally comes when
Sally, whose closest companion for sixteen years has been the radio, goes
out to meet the world. She meets The Singer instead. Joining his band,
sally begins her apprenticeship, learning from his unique style which
along with his wild ways, has made The Singer famous in bars and
honky-tonks across the country. In her company he begins to settle down,
gradually winning Sally’s heart and, after a show somewhere in hills of
Virginia, they married.
Under his guidance, standing
in the spotlight beside him every night, Sally blossoms into a compelling
singer herself. She comes to the attention of the people who promise her a
successful career if she will abandon the music of The Singer and work
alone. A distance then begins to grow between them, and he sinks slowly
back to his old, reckless ways. Sally, not understanding, is hurt, and
finally leaves, without realizing how much The Singer needs her.
She soon finds out that the
promise of glamour in here new life cannot compare to the promise they
made to each other, nor can her new sound replace the sweetness in the
songs he had taught her. But before she can tell him what is in her heart,
The Singer is killed in a car accident, never to know that Sally Rose was
on her way back to him.
Overcome with grief and
remorse, Sally goes back on the road to sing his music, believing she can
still somehow be close to him in the places they had worked together.
Years of playing one-night stands follows, Sally becomes successful beyond
her wildest dreams. Yet without The Singer beside her, success seems
hollow eventually, she gives up everything and settles down, realizing
that she must face her life alone.
Sally
is at peace now, from a broadcasting tower, not far from where she lost
him forever, she sends out the sound of The Singer to all who pass by on
the endless stretch of highway. She’s just waiting for you to tune in.
