"We're gonna leave sodbustin' behind,
Get these hard times right on out of our minds,
Ridin' Wildfire …"
—Michael Martin Murphey, "Wildfire", You Tube Music Video

When Wildfire returns,
I will gladly ride; ride like
I did with Barb, her horses,
down Crider Creek outside
Whitesville, New York in 1970.
