<p>new to Mixposure anyway....</p><p>I uploaded a new song called Grandmas Blackberry Wine.</p><p>I have hesitated to upload this song. It is so far from the grasp of most people simply because the subject matter is truly all out country. However, it is a very true song.<br /><br />My Grandma used to make blackberry wine. She would go out in the woods, pick the blackberries herself, bring them home, and make the most awesome tasting wine ever in the history of homemade wine. But, you had to be careful with it because it would sneak up on you quick.<br /><br />The song explains how Grandma didn't have indoor plumbing....true. How we used to have to use the outhouse....true. How she had a rocked in spring about 200 yards out in the woods to bathe in....true. How she made the best homemade blackberry wine ever....true. And, how I miss those fun country times....true.<br /><br />There's a "hill" (more like a mountain) that's called "Higg's Hill". Back when my mother was a kid there was a store on top of the hill called "Higg's". At the bottom of Higg's Hill, my aunt and uncle used to have a beer joint called The Rawhide. And yes, it was every bit as rough as it sounds. But, as long as you were part of our family you had nothing to worry about. I loved to go play pool and eat beef jerky there. Very cool!<br /><br />Poison Willie was a true character when I was growing up. If there was a fight or any other trouble, 'ol Poison was probably involved. One day he showed up at my aunts bar drunk (or something) as he could be. He was looking for somebody in our family. Don't remember who (my family is a little....uhhhh.........wild....at times). He had a shotgun that had the butt broken off. I don't think he could've even shot it but he was sure pissed off. One of the men from inside went out and wrestled it away from him and told him to get on down the road.<br /><br />Anyway, I just thought I'd explain a little of what the song is about. I also put this in the song info.</p>
