Music Monday – “And if I weren’t a flatland boy, I’d say I have a hill/A hill that I will die upon if the climb don’t get me killed/If there were such heights around here for a guy to lay his pride/Maybe I’d rest before I died if I weren’t a flatland boy”

I’m old enough to remember using purple gas on our farm. “Purple Gas” – Zach Bryan and Noeline Hofman
