A bourbon storage building had collapsed in Kentucky. And oh, the pain that bourbon drinkers are feeling.
The Barton Distillery, home of the "Old Barton 1792," had a storage barn suffer a partial collapse in mid-June. Several barrels were destroyed, and the bourbon ran into a nearby creek, killing over 800 fish (they drowned in bourbon? They died happy, at least!). The remainder of the building was teetering on collapse.
Yesterday (7/4) that happened. What was left of the building fell down, taking the remainder of the bourbon barrels with it.
The sobbing can be heard from here.

That is a cool song, isn't it? A friend gave me a project that a friend of his did, cataloging the King Records "Hillbilly" series of 78s in the 40s. That's where I found that song.
