I grew up in New England in old small towns with character, but lived near large cities. The closest I was to the country were the tobacco fields in Connecticut. Until moving to the Raleigh area, I spent all of my adult life in South Florida, which is new and commercial. To find a barn I had to travel hours north. Here in NC, I can see one from my front porch and have become enamored with barns and all things “country,” even the music.
