When Trish referenced this song it made me think about starting a thread about songs about or that mention the hobby.

Here's Reba doing Bobbie Gentry's song 'Fancy'.

Here's one for the street walkers. Well, I guess when these songs were written they were all street walkers. Or corner loiterers or something.

Nanci Griffith's 'Looking for the Time (Working Girl)'.

According to a friend of mine Conway hit on his wife when he was at Melody Fair many years ago (she was a very pretty lady). I think Conway practiced all the things he sang about.

If you're talking about in the video, it's Johnny Cash who introduces her. It was on his TV show.
