Equestria's Greatest Singer

It was 1956 in Manehatten. The place where you could make it or break it, but for one stallion he would quickly make it to the top.

“I made it, I finally made it!” A young stallion said with pride as he got off a train from Baltimare. This stallion’s name was Honky Tonky, a small town singer. He came to Manehatten in hoped to find a career in singing. But everypony back home would always tell him,

He wasn't good enough!

Or

You’ll never make it!

But there was a smidgen of hope for Honky. He knew that soon he would be proving them all wrong with his music. He walked down the city streets, seeing small shops and buildings full of other ponies either making a living or just going on with their business.

Speaking of making a living, Honky still needed a job. And he knew that without one, he would get nowhere in this town.

“But if I want to stay around here, I gotta get a job.” Honky went down many streets but couldn't find a place he would enjoy while he worked. Finally he found a small bar, when he entered it smelled like cigarette smoke and alcohol.

Just like home.
