Verse 1
Halloween fell on a cold clear night,
Sirens cut through the pale moonlight,
Amherst calling, voices tight,
Saying “we're running out of might.”

Chorus
Roll on, Granby, roll that way,
Flashing red through the fields of hay,
Neighbors need you, don't resist,
Answer the call-Granby Fire Assist.

Verse 2
Belchertown engines, humming low,
South Hadley's diesel starts to glow,
Northampton down that valley road,
Every town took up the load.

Chorus
Roll on, Granby, roll that way,
Flashing red through the fields of hay,
Neighbors need you, don't resist,
Answer the call-Granby Fire Assist.

Verse 3
Four long hours, running blind,
Every minute someone to find,
When the dawn broke soft and gray,
They'd earned their rest that Halloween day.

Final Chorus
Roll on, Granby, roll that way,
Flashing red through the fields of hay,
Hearts of courage, smoke and mist,
We'll remember-Granby Fire Assist.


Roll On Granby

Chasin' Rainbows

This is a rhythmic, groovy, dynamic and slightly playful Country musical impromptu with guitars, dobro, banjo, double bass, harmonica and drums.

Train Across The Prairies

A Breath Between Mountain Winds.

Colorado Columbines is a feeling — the hush of dawn, the creak of old wood, the shimmer of fiddle and banjo carrying a whisper through the trees.
A Moment From Time (Remastered) lingers in that stillness: a simple circle of melody that reminds us how short and beautiful each passing second can be.

Originally recorded for the Colorado Columbines collection, this remastered edition brings a little more space, warmth, and clarity to the sound of quiet reflection.

Inspired by David Ball’s 2010 version from Sparkle City, Smith was drawn to the song’s timeless melody and deep sentimental resonance, which she infuses with her own heartfelt interpretation."What'll I Do" blends classic country and bluegrass, showcasing Smith’s ability to convey emotion through acoustic artistry and her signature sultry vocals. The song’s tender lyrics and gentle melody explore the fear of losing a loved one, with lines like, "What'll I do if I don’t have you? How will I find my way? / I’d be lost in this old town, without your love when the sun goes down." The chorus, "The stars are shinin’ bright in the midnight sky / Let’s take a walk and give our hearts one more try," offers a hopeful plea for reconciliation, resonating deeply with listeners. Produced by acclaimed artist Donna Ulisse, the track features Smith’s soulful lead vocals, complemented by harmony vocals from Jerry Salley and Ulisse. An all-star ensemble brings the song to life, including Scott Vestal (banjo, sound engineer), Cody Kilby (acoustic guitar), Evan Winsor (upright bass), Jeff Partin (steel guitar), Jason Carter (fiddle), and Nate Curie (mandolin). Mixed and mastered by Chris Latham, the recording preserves the song’s intimate, confessional essence, highlighted by melodic violin and delicate guitar work.

Bell Buckle Media and Records, is a small independent music company, which was founded 19 years ago in the historic town of Bell Buckle, TN by Valerie Smith and J. Gregory Heinike (owner of the famous Bell Buckle Cafe). They began the label so they could record artists who would frequently perform at the cafe and they called the series, “Live at the Bel Buckle Cafe.”

As the demand grew for record labels to produce independent artists,  Bell Buckle Records soon joined the ranks of other popular independent labels. Its roster grew every year and it continued to release recordings by various artists in the folk and roots markets. We are proud of our label and we look forward to sharing fresh new voices to our listeners for the next 20 years!

AMOR*LEBEN*TODO
Music, Mystery, and the Multiverse of Michael Lemmer

Somewhere between a mountain echo and a memory of the future, AMOR*LEBEN*TODO hums.
It’s not just a label — it’s a living signal. A constellation of songs, poems, and visions beamed from the heart of the Rockies into every corner of the cloud.

This SoundCloud page is a crossroads — a place for wanderers and one-offs, sonic sketches and stray transmissions. Here drift fragments of the greater work: folk and funk, dream and data, dub and dawnlight. Every sound is part of a larger conversation — between art and accident, code and spirit, love and the long road home.

Founded by artist-producer Michael Lemmer, AMOR*LEBEN*TODO carries a simple mission: to keep the signal alive. The music, the words, the images — all vibrate from the same pulse. A celebration of life, love, and the strange electric hum that connects it all.

Tune in, drift wide, and listen closely.
Every track is a little transmission from the in-between.
