I live in a very small town called Cotati (Koe-tah-tee) with a population of just under 7,500. Walking around town is always fun because there are so many characters here. You can usually find a game of chess in progress, along with diners eating lunch or dinner at sidewalk tables.
Since Cotati is such a small town, it is highly unusual to go out and not see someone you know. So there are a lot of "Hellos", "How are you" and "Nice to see ya" whenever you enter a meeting place.
One of those places is Oliver's Market, a locally owned and operated grocery store where the selection of produce and wine is phenomenal.
Olivers is a sought out destination for many of my out of town guests, it's one of the first places they want to go once they arrive here.
Another great thing about Olivers is that you are frequently serenaded when you leave the store. This young cowboy has been showing up lately with his fiddle and he plays it well.
He had no idea why I would want to take his picture, but he just shrugged his shoulders with a "whatever" look on his face.
Move over Charlie Daniels ... This young Cowboy can fiddle!
