Train Songs with Bill Harouff

June 1-Shenandoah

2:00 p.m. Train Songs with Bill Harouff at the Town of Shenandoah Museum (507 First Street, Shenandoah, VA 22849).  Bill Harouff grew up in and around Staunton, VA.  His favorite outings were trips or Sunday afternoon drives which took him near railroad tracks.  The first “real” song he learned as a child was “The Wreck of Number Nine.”  His aunts would teach him a song and his grandfather would take him to the little country store and lift him up on the counter to sing for all who’d listen.  He had a stint in a Bluegrass band and a stint with a folk group.  Now retired, he sings at church and occasionally in public.
