Billy's Notes:
The neighborhood I grew up in, Paradise, on the west side of Baltimore had a bar called the Paradise Tavern. There was an older gentleman named Mr. Wilson who was there nearly every night. He sat on a stool on the corner of the bar that had his name on it. I knew a man from an AA group in the neighborhood that called drunkards stonecutters because they would have too much of the falling down water and hit their heads on the marble stoops in Baltimore.
Note to DJs
Mr. Wilson, the Stonecutter (4:00) Slow, arpeggiated finger picking guitar and voice arrangement, close and present sounding. A Baltimorean remembrance of a neighborhood drinker who has too much of the falling down water.
