A Song For Fultonville, NY – Your Town Thursday [VIDEO]

It's always a lot of fun doing these songs about local towns. Plus it's also an education to learn the history of some of them. Fultonville,New York is no exception.

Here's the song and the slideshow if you don't want to read the rest, but I encourage you to! The lyrics to the song are included at the bottom and also a couple of pictures from a local resident.

EXPLANATION, 2 PHOTOS, and LYRICS
Fultonville is a village in Montgomery County. I'd love to know what the population is. I'll bet half of the population wrote in on Facebook to contribute information for me, and I appreciated it.

I tried to create my own tune for this, but somehow it morphed into a Bob Dylanish talking blues. Who knows how that happened. I guess it's another by-product of sleep deprivation. Be that as it may, here is a little slideshow I put together. (At the bottom of this blog is a couple of photos sent by Kari A Bezio-Wenskoski, the Manager of the Jackson and Betz Funeral Home. According to her email

The first Pic is of a little tree growing from the Dutch Reformed Church in Fultonville on the corner of 30a and 5s.
