Wells is a cathedral city and civil parish in the Mendip district of Somerset, England, on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills. Although the population recorded in the 2001 census is 10,406, it has had city status since 1205. It is the second smallest English city in terms of area and population after the City of London although, unlike the latter, Wells is not part of a larger metropolitan conurbation, and is consequently described in some sources as being England's smallest city.
The name Wells derives from the three wells dedicated to Saint Andrew, one in the market place and two within the grounds of the Bishop's Palace and cathedral. There was a small Roman settlement around the wells, but its importance grew under the Saxons when King Ine of Wessex founded a minster church in 704, around which the settlement grew. Wells became a trading centre and involved in cloth making before its involvement in both the English Civil War and the Monmouth Rebellion during the 17th century. In the 19th century, transport infrastructure improved with stations on three different railway lines.

We follow Douglas from high school (1963-64), when he sees himself as a loser, into the band, playing drums and singing backup - then as the front man. There are tensions, a breakup, an audition in front of a major player, and decisions. Douglas pursues Grace, a country-club gal with hip sensibilities who believes in him. There's also his father, working class, wanting Douglas to apply himself as he watches his own life fill with regrets.

Plot: Rich and beautiful Southern heiress Sally Warren loves horse-racing and running her horse-farm although her husband of seven years hates the four-legged mammals. Spouse Jeff Warren is a successful author, Civil War scholar, and popular lecturer on the ladies club circuit. After Jeff buys aging twelve-year old nag Albert in the mistaken belief that he's a colt, and Sally purchases a desk for her husband in the naive belief that it once belonged to Jefferson Davis, it's obvious that they have few interests in common. The squabbling is complicated by Jeff's jealousy of Sally's relationship with Lance Gale, her childhood friend, neighbor, and fellow horse breeder. Sally in turn becomes enraged when the ubiquitous Mary Lou Medford, a flirtatious literary groupie, becomes omnipresent with her infatuation of Jeff. Although the strains on their relationship lands the couple in divorce court, circumstances and an equine cupid bring them back together again.

Keywords: boat-race, college, number-in-titleCan I draw some water babe,
from your well?
Can I draw some water baby,
'cause mine has failed.
The bucket won't come up,
no matter how hard I crank.
The bucket won't come up,
I think it sank.
I walk the road between your house and mine;
I hope the bridge hasn't collapsed.
I hope the man at the gate will help me through,
unless he's holding on to you...
holding on,
([holding on])
to you...
([holding on, holding on])
Holding on to you.
How has your garden grown?
Is there fruit on your trees?
Do you need a laborer to pull up those weeds?
Oh I am so lonely babe,
in my house on the hill.
Oh I am so lonely baby,
the silence kills.
I walk the road between your house and mine;
I hope the bridge hasn't collapsed.
I hope the man at the gate will help me through,
unless he's holding on to you,
holding on, to you...
Yeah, I wanna hold you, squeeze you
love you, need you, feel you
touch you, reel you, save you,
greet you, greet you, see you.
Everywhere I turn, I need to know
Are you going away, and be there when I get home?
I'm crossing the bridge 1, 000 miles along.
Yes It's worth the wait, and nights alone
So far from home, and girl you wrong,
and changed 'em up.
I love it all, and what you were and who you are,
and who you'll be, only time will tell
but your wishin' well is callin' me.
This wouldn't ease my pain or hurt, and only you can quench my thirst.
So I'm walkin', I'm workin', to bring it home,
come on girl keep holdin' on.
I wish that I could sit,
in your garden again.
And watch the stars at night,
from your bed.
I walk the road between your house and mine;
I hope the bridge hasn't collapsed.
I hope the man at the gate will help me through,
unless he's holding on to you...
holding on,
([holding on, holding on])
to you...
([holding on, holding on, come on])
