Who Gets the Farm - Preview
by Pat Rix and John O'Dea
Anyone on the land could identify with the title of this song.
A question which is probably asked in every farming family, sometimes it gets worked out, sometimes not.
Pat Rix penned the words to this song from time spent with the people of Melrose when writing the script for "Melrose under the big top" (Melrose 150th year celebrations).
I wrote the music and a few words and arranged the song, but will always be grateful to Pat for this song.
Alies, her violin, what can I say? I worked with Alies Sluiter in the "Melrose under the big top" performances, that's when I asked her if she would play on this album, thankfully, she said yes.
Her contribution to this album with her violin has been outstanding and I will be forever grateful.
