A retired SailorBoy, home from the sea, looked at an old postcard and dreamed about it. Suddenly the old postcard came alive. Once again he revisited the seaside resort where he had enjoyed fun with friends as a younger man. Out of the card stepped a young lady, a dancer, who began to show the SailorBoy around the Magic Mile - a place in the other world where all the funny postcard people had gone and where they still lived and sang their oldtime songs. In this time-warp, such characters came alive as the Grand Dame Knowitall; Lotsadebt, the villain and his pal BillBailiff; Skinny, the walking bones; Snooty, the upper-class drunk; a few seaside blondes; the Bearded Woman and the Fat Lady. Outstanding among the dancers was the young lady from the Good Old Days.

Sam Drew Carson was born in the North of Ireland and educated there at Wellington College and the Ulster Polytechnic. He completed his education in the USA at New Mexico Highlands University and the University of Arkansas. He has traveled widely in Europe, around the Atlantic and in North America. Carson worked as a seaman and fish-gutter in Vestmannaeyjar off the coast of Iceland. He has lived and worked in the Irish and Western Isles Gaeltachts and was married in Welsh-speaking Carmarthen after which he honeymooned in Belfast. He has told his stories, composed and sung his songs, seeking storylines in Bristol and the English Westcountry. Carson has also lived and written in Nashville, Tennessee, in the wooded hills of Mid-America and from the Appalachians to the Ozarks. This was the culture that gave rise to the now worldwide Scotch-Irish country music. In the USA, he has also worked beside the bayous of the French-speaking Cajuns in the South and among the Western Spanish-speaking Navajos, Apaches and Pueblos of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in New Mexico. Carson has sailed far into the seas of old Gaelic and Oriental legend. After many years searching for inspiration for story and music, the author is still traveling and writing.
