I was raised on a small farm in western Ma. This was a time when most of us worked and sweated in the tobacco or corn fields, working for what we wanted. Or, just pitching in, pulling our share for the good of the cause. We didn't have much, but there was always money on the table for a guitar lesson or a trip to the local movie theater on a rainy Sat. afternoon. |
