Dixieland Delight

Man does this song make me happy! When I was younger my Dad would sometimes play an Alabama cassette (man am I old! HA!) while we were driving. Most often at night we would be traveling back home, and in the summer the windows would be rolled down and the mountain breeze would be blowing through the car, and this song would come on and our family would come alive! About 3:15 into the song it goes into this instrumental hoedown and each of us would pick an instrument to air play and we would go nuts! I mean we must have looked like a bunch of crazies air playing our instruments and singing at the top of our lungs. Every time I hear this song I start giggling uncontrollably and I can close my eyes and see my brothers and I, squished together in the back seat, going nuts on our instruments and singing ourselves hoarse. What I wouldn't give for a repeat of that!

I hope you have fun listening in!

    Love it. I downloaded all those Alabama songs a few years ago and every once and a while I put them on. I get very tempted to bust out the air-fiddle action!

Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.  I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by ...
