    Absolutely love the chord progression in this tune.
    My uncle used to own 40 acres in SE OK. Heaven on earth. Bigfoot country. We used to spend days in the woods living on hot links and maybe a flask or two. The wildlife was simply amazing. After my uncle died greed did its thing and The Holler was sold. As soon as we would turn off of HWY 259 and hit the red dirt I would put this song on. It seemed to set the mood and adjust our frame of mind. The TV in the cabin was hardly ever turned on. We spent most of our time either working, hunting or just sitting on the back porch solving the worlds problems. I miss the place very much but at least I have the memories. Great, great memories.

    The woods beyond the far tree line was all owned by the state. Went for miles. The last few times we went we found a few small bear tracks. Also a few big cats in the area. That always made the thrill of the hunt a little bit more thrilling if you will. I could go on and on and on.
    This is a view from the back porch. There were days where we just sit there all day long and talk and have some cold beverages. We called it studying the migration pattern of cattle. I really, really miss The Holler. Greed won.
