We hear a strange, single, BENT NOTE.
1   EXT. SHARECROPPER SHACK - ECU FINGERS - LATE AFTERNOON        1

    We follow a small boy's FINGERS on a strange contraption-
    WIDER



SCRATCH, 10 years old, has a `DIDDLEY BOW', a piece of baling

wire nailed to the side of the unpainted shack so it is

stretched taut. He moves an old corn cob under it as a fret

and makes TWANGY, pitch-shifting NOTES as he plucks the wire.
His friend LONNIE stands moving his fingers over a BOARD he

has laid on the side of the porch floor. A few scrawny

CHICKENS run around in the yard behind them-
                        LONNIE

              Leave off with that, Scratch.
                        SCRATCH

              Aint bothering you.
                           LONNIE
