Sweeney Bayou Song

The Milton Sunrise Kiwanis Club had a hayride in April on a farm in Chumuckla. Don Sweeney was the entertainment, providing a number of country and folk songs on the ride and afterward.  Most of his songs are written and arranged by himself.  He bills himself as a singer, songwriter and storyteller. His phone number is 850-554-5154.  The Sunrise Kiwanis has breakfast at 7AM every Wednesday a Tanglewood Golf Course in Milton. Consider being involved with a community minded group like this.
PS - Uncle Vic got to be the tractor driver !

Someone posted a photo from this page on Facebook and I found it very interesting. This is a region very important to the initial US development of NW Florida because so many of the American colonizers moved through or settled in this region first. I hope we can develop such a good collection of historic rural NW Florida homes.
