Steve Battarbee:Was it inspired by the damming of the valley or something like that Robin
Yes, Steve. The federal government dammed the Elk River and flooded what had been the Carpenter family home. Had it been me, I would have just yelled some profanities, written a nasty letter, and headed down to the local bar to drink and yell some more. But old Ernie wrote this wonderful tune, which you play very well, by the way.
Such a beautiful tune and sound, Steve - the only negative thing is that it is too short : )
Thanks Dusty..and I’m with you in the bar on this one!

Thanks for the kind comments and ‘likes’

Steven- Well done for spotting the bagpipes. I was in a bagpipe tuning Aaa
Great as usual Steve love the drone going on there.
Steve, those drones are powerfully good on ERB! I really like Mr Ernie Carpenter's tune even though the story of how it came to be is a sad one.
Really like your version, Steve....Kind of sounds like bagpipes!
