Just back from the east coast (US) where I found this delightful little barn attached to a house for sale. It all seemed perfect, and ready for me to move in and start a studio/gallery, except for the small fact of it being way out in the middle of nowhere (Montague, western Mass., to be exact).

(music and lyrics by Irving Berlin, written during the Great Depression)
