I asked a.i. “using her song titles, write a funny story about how artist Anne Wilson went to a western town where everyone was sad because they had no music to listen to and the local music store was out of guitars because the bummer bandit stole them” and this is what it came up with..

The town of Rain in the Rearview had gone silent. Not a whistle, not a hum—just the occasional sad sigh of the wind and the clink of empty boots echoing off Main Street. Ever since the Bummer Bandit had swept through and stolen every guitar from The Cross Strings Music Shop, music had vanished like a song no one remembered the words to.

But one day, a figure appeared on the horizon, riding a dust-kissed stallion named Glory Boots. Draped in denim, eyes set like flint, and a weather-worn guitar strapped to her back, Anne Wilson had arrived. And she wasn’t about to let silence win.

She stepped into the town square, planted her boots, and unslung her six-string—Redemption—with a reverence that made the clouds hold their breath. Then she strummed the first chord of “Strong.”

It was like thunder and sunlight wrapped in harmony. The streets trembled. Doors flew open. A tumbleweed did a cartwheel. And the townsfolk came rushing, hearts thudding in tempo they hadn’t felt in years.

One by one, Anne passed out guitars. Old Miss Mabel strummed a chord and burst into tears. Sheriff Buck tuned his guitar with a badge in one hand and wonder in the other.

Then, from behind a dusty barrel, the Bummer Bandit emerged—guilt painting his face like ash.

“I didn’t steal to be mean,” he muttered. “I just didn’t know how to play.”

Anne handed him the last guitar and said, “Then it’s about time you learned.”

And just like that, music returned to Rain in the Rearview. As the sun dipped low, Anne mounted Glory Boots once more and rode off into the pink-gold dusk, her silhouette framed by the strum of a thousand strings.

Every person and creature—young, old, lawman, bandit, and even a goat with impressive fingerstyle technique—played guitar as one town found its song again.
