Was that a voice he just heard, or the hooting of an owl? There it is again: Come a little closer... Come a little closer... Listen to the night... There's music in the air... Beckoned by the voice, the boy sneaks downstairs, out the door, and walks toward the barn. As he gets closer he hears the sweet sound of a country fiddler and the rhythmic thumping of dancing feet. But who could possibly be having a barn dance in the middle of the night?
