Ain’t nothin’ like mountain music to chase the snow away….
Hey now now..
Springin’ into summer has been a slow process in the Sawtooths this year, but have no fear…when she comes, she come in like a mountain lion.
Yeah, the rivers are ragin’, the flowers are bloomin’ and the livin’s easy. But for a goat, to really chase the winter’s blues away, I need mountain music.
