My friend, Dave Mallett wrote a very nice song which I recorded. It's titled THE HAYING SONG, and of course, it's about the harvesting of hay. Some of the words are: you have to make hay while the sun shines
that's what all of the hill people say
just keep your load wide, keep your eye on the sky
and make sure it's dry when you put it away.

another part, it's when all men are strong and the work days are long
you know when to rise and you know when to rest...

and...6 loads in and 8 more to go..

Well, I was singing this once at a bluegrass festival out behind a stock shed, and there was a little bank. Down over the bank there was a young couple, and you could tell the way they were acting that they were quite fond of each other. Suddenly, that song took on a whole new meaning even though the words hadn't changed at all.
