STARTING OVER

By 1939 the drought had ended. Though the land might well have been best suited to the grass that nature intended, the farmers started growing their wheat crops once more. However, they did learn lessons from the decade of the drought...the "dirty thirties." This joyous instrumental (improvisation) based on a melody by Susan Maskin was composed and played by Bernie Katzman. It shows the new mood in the former "dust bowl." A time to rejoice, a time to dance!
