A like a mug of broth. But there is a TON of sodium so that’s a once in a blue moon drink.

They’re not straight country. More Americana/roots. There’s a Canadian fellow called Daniel Romano who made some really good straight country, but sadly only a couple albums then went to other genres. His album Come Cry With Me is the closest I’ve found to that 60s/70s sound and lyricism.

And probably still a lot more I haven’t found yet.

And perhaps some kind of alarm to alert when a sexual person is in the repair area.

There’s a book called How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler that covers this stuff. Don’t think it’s comprehensive enough to actually invent everything from scratch, but still a fun read.
