Mill at Walter's Falls


As a young teenager I accompanied my uncles on their rounds of getting grain milled. I also got to visit sawmills and can remember the cutting smell of damp sawdust and the sweet dusty smell of dry milled grain. I wrote a song which mentions visiting this mill.

Yes, in fact it was in the back of a Ford pickup. Light green. 1962. In the glove compartment was a pouch of Daily Mail tobacco and Vogue papers.
