THE LEGEND OF THAT OLD BIG RIVER TRAIN

[btooley10]

It's too bad there are so few story-type Ballard songs being written today... They had an emotion and purpose that people could relate to, but I guess times change even if some of us don't.... thanks for helping to keep the memories alive...Bob

Hi C.W. Great job on this old song. Like others I love hearing the stories in the old songs. I really think you should get a good seat in the coach area of this Big Old Train and head on South to Texas.

Hi Ya Tuks: I am sure glad that you are enjoying this song. This is an example of what country music used to be, but is no more.
