The English son of a great friend who is a fine musician plans to walk soon from Chicago to New Orleans. He will be carrying a guitar case and plans to do some singing when he can. We were talking about weather, hot and humid, and he said he'd be knocking on people's doors asking for water probably.
Now the States he will be going through on this journey which will take in Nashville don't strike me as the best places to go on people's property, particulalrly if you are walking in a country where hardly anybody ever does. Carrying a guitar, a backpack, and speaking in a foreign accent can also be added in to the equation.
I ask our American friends for sincere advice to this young man. I told him in certain States he could be legally shot for going on someone's property. I may be wrong in this, but what would you like to tell him before he sets out?
