about
I attended a large gathering of folk musicians in Alpharetta, Georgia in April 2017, hosted by John and Jody Bowles, with assistance from Neal Spivey. I wrote a song about my experiences that weekend.
lyrics
Alpharetta in the Spring
Traveling deep into the night
Georgia moon is shining bright
A home away from home is where I’m bound
Won’t worry ‘bout a thing
I’m a bird out on the wing
Alpharetta, Alpharetta in the Spring
Treasured friends some time ago
Said come down so you will know
Feelings you’ve never had before
Taking in what life will bring
I’m a kite without a string
Alpharetta, Alpharetta in the Spring
A soft breeze is capturing lilac
And memories to which I still cling
Haven’t got a care
Drinking in the southern air
Alpharetta, Alpharetta in the Spring
I’m thinking tonight of my dearest
And the songs we so loved to sing
Sweet voices fill this room
With an oft-remembered tune
Alpharetta, Alpharetta in the Spring
