This discussion makes me think of a song my dad sings with his bluegrass group called the "Old Homeplace." Luckily I am still living on our farm, but I think about all the changes in the neighborhood in the last 30 years and wonder will anyone else remember the old ways and times someday?
Old Home Place (by the Dillards)
It's been ten long years since I left my home In the hollow where I was born Where the cool fall nights make the wood smoke rise And the foxhunter blows his horn
I fell in love with a girl from the town I thought that she would be true I ran away to Charlottesville And worked in a sawmill or two
What have they done to the old home place Why did they tear it down And why did I leave the plow in the field And look for a job in the town
Well my girl she ran off with somebody else The taverns took all my pay And here I stand where the old home stood Before they took it away
Now the geese they fly south and the cold wind blows As I stand here and hang my head I've lost my love I've lost my home And now I wish that I was dead
Many people from rural areas could probably could associate with the song.
