"Sutter's Mill"

This is a very good song from Dan Fogelberg's, "High Country Snows" album of 1985.

This album satisfied Dan's long time desire to put together a group of his songs with a definite county and old west sound and flavor!

On this album one can find some of the most respected and well known names in country music who combined and blended their talents with those of Dan Fogelberg. The resulting-end product- was an excellent album - every song on it- and one of my favorites to listen to!

~~~

OK- History buffs-
-before you jump on me for posting historically incorrect information,
(Or Dan Fogelberg for writing this song)
I'm aware that John Sutter did not actually find the first gold nugget, although it was found at his mill. It was James Wilson Marshall who found the first nugget while working for John Sutter.

This event started the Gold Rush in Coloma, Ca - in 1848





Sutter's Mill

Dan Fogelberg


In the Spring of Forty-seven,
So the story, it is told,
Old John Sutter went to the mill site
Found a piece of shining gold.

Well, he took it to the city
Where the word, like wildfire, spread.
And old John Sutter soon came to wish he'd
Left that stone in the river bed.

For they came like herds of locusts
Every woman, child and man
In their lumbering Conestogas
They left their tracks upon the land.

(Chorus)
Some would fail and some would prosper
Some would die and some would kill
Some would thank the Lord for their deliverance
And some would curse John Sutter's Mill.


Well, they came from New York City,
And they came from Alabam'
With their dreams of finding fortunes
In this wild unsettled land.

Well, some fell prey to hostile arrows
As they tried to cross the plains.
And some were lost in the Rocky Mountains
With their hands froze to the reins.
Oh...

(Chorus)

Well, some pushed on to California
And others stopped to take their rest.
And by the Spring of Eighteen-sixty
They had opened up the west.

And then the railroad came behind them
And the land was plowed and tamed,
When Old John Sutter went to meet his maker,
With not one penny to his name.
Oh...

(Chorus)

And some would curse John Sutter's Mill
Some men's thirsts are never filled.

Go Down Easy

By Dan Fogelberg

( Written by: Jay Bolotin )


Linda lost her lover in the early part of autumn
And she moved out to the country
Hoping all would be forgotten.
The last time that I saw her
She was makin sure the winter
Wouldnt come through that old door frame
Where the door is several inches from the ground,
The cold hard ground.

(chorus)

And its hard to go down easy;
And its hard to keep from cryin;
And its hard to lose a lover
In the early part of autumn.

Well, she learned to cook the meals
And she learned to start the fire;
And she learned to make jewelry
Out of stones and precious metals.
She sits down to the table
With her friends and several others
And she tries real hard to never be alone.

(chorus)

Now the winter wind blows cold
Upon a fair and gentle soul
And she feels as if her time is passin easy.
Her friends are sometimes lovers,
Though theyll always be another
She thinks about when the night time lays on down.

(chorus) twice

Dan Fogelberg ( Post#2 of today )

I want everyone to know the wonderful Dan Fogelberg!

( some lyrics from his song 'Old Tennessee' )

"End of October the sleepy brown woods
seem to nod down their heads to the winter.
Yellows and gray paint the sad sky today
and I wonder when you're coming home."

This is a terribly out of focus picture -nonetheless- I treasure it!

Dan Fogelberg and ME, early '70s.
This was the 2nd. time I was able to see Dan in concert.
