The other day my music-guru Dennis LeBeau phoned from East Brookfield, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

\u201cCome on down to the South Barre Rod & Gun Club on Sunday, my sons and I are playing a gig!\u201d<\/p>\n

Where?<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know it, it\u2019s just across the Mass-Central line south of the Barre\/South Barre town line. We\u2019ve got some great bands. Real talent. You\u2019ll like it!\u201d<\/p>\n

As it turned out, I was well familiar with the crossing. Over the years I\u2019ve worked this location for photographs of Mass-Central freights.<\/p>\n

Country music has its railway influences, and in the end this tied together nicely.<\/p>\n
