Liz Carlisle - Hey California

“Raised up here in the Montana mountains back when a family could afford the houses. Now the rich folks move in every June and July, property taxes are soaring sky high.” Been watching this situation my whole life. It’s easy to blame the rich folks, but there’s something else involved in this deceit - the local real estate agents who live off commissions. Hey, I see it around here where I live. Prices have more than doubled in les than 4 years. Greed is the answer. Hey, but we’re not here to talk about the greed that runs our nation, we’re here to talk about the music. Ah. This is a winner. Good, old fashioned country guitars start the beat, and the country vocals make this a boot-scooting fun dance time. And the lyrics drip deep with sarcasm. “The locals get the last laugh every late fall.” Why. Ah, the rub. “I’m sorry your Ferrari got stuck in the snow. I’m sure they’ll treat it gentle when you get it towed.” Wink. Wink. LOL!!! Fun stuff. Thanks Liz! Liz Carlisle
