The Balladeer is Bobby Wayner, fifty, forever grieved and punished by a lie he'd told when he was a boy in Kentucky. One summer night, Eldon, his older brother was murdered. The lie Bobby had told was partly to blame for his brother's death. Bobby couldn't tolerate his guilt, so he ran away and never reached back for many years. This was during the Second World War in 1944.
