THE BARN

Why a song about a barn? Well, If Interested … in high school Bud spent summers doing farm work that included hot, hot days of stacking hay bales in a huge barn. Later his stepfather owned a barn and much later Bud owned a barn. So barns are in his memories. And those memories include seeing the collapse of many small farms as big agriculture took over … long sad story.

Thanks to Peter for the guitar fills/solos and advice with the mix/arrangement. And thanks to PG Music making it all possible. The lyric is on SC. If you choose to listen we always appreciate your time to do so and welcome any comments.
