Talkin’ Vaccine Injury Blues
By Dan Burns
EXTERIOR: Picnic area in front of the ranch house. In the foreground, a makeshift stage for Hope Ranch Productions. On the stage, a donations sign: Needed: $250 Grand. Donated: $50.
JOSH, a one-man band of harmonica and banjo, is singing to the camera, Bob Dylan-style. VAN GO is filming. Parents are seated at picnic tables around the stage, celebrating the Grand Opening.
JOSH: (to the tune of “Talking World War III Blues.” )

Dan, Hope Ranch was such an inspirational endeavor. Is there anyone out there with fund-raising smarts who could help get it going again?
