Intrigued by the White Horse Inn in McDermitt, Nevada; a dilapidated casino/hotel. It straddles the border between Nevada and Oregon. It was built in the early 1900s. When I passed through there in 2021 it was a very picturesque ruin.  I had just heard that my friend Michael Radtke had passed away.  The result is a beautiful melancholy ballad.  Vocals, guitar and pedal steel.  Photo: Austin Allen

Here In The Lonely Night
