Hey DW! Thank you for posting the link. And it's from The Fox Theater - gorgeous place, as I think you know.
I love the Steep Canyon Rangers, have been to many of their concerts over the years. But man! They look so young in that photo from 2010.

But man! They look so young in that photo from 2010. They were doing fairly well before they hooked up with Steve Martin and his banjo! |

We got front seat tix for my husband's birthday to see "Steep Canyon Rangers and Steve Martin" perform in Flagstaff. Steve could see my husband's WVU jacket and Denver Broncos hat, and was obviously puzzled, trying to figure out "Who is that guy?"
When we saw the Rangers perform in Galax, VA, my husband's buddy was friends with the guitar guy in the opening act (we hadn't known he was going to be the opening act!) so got to go back stage and meet everyone, That was cool.

Talk of "Gone With the Wind" -- film was premiered at the Fox in 1939, greatest year in film history!

This is a pretty funny satire of the novel/movie. I don't remember listening to it, maybe I missed the original broadcast.

I hope you are having a wonderful day! Are you co-celebrating with the grands?
I looked back at the original thread for this show, and I was there, listening and posting a lot. Lirio was there too even though as always, she was in the midst of fixing dinner.
Thinking back, I bet I've listened to most of the 400+ shows since we started this site in 2006, so I guess if I forget one, it "doesn't harelip the generation." That is something my mother always said about near-catastrophes. I think it might be a Southernism.

"I Can't Sit Down" - this one prompted my 2010 comment about being reminded of my summer camp songs. I went to summer camp in Hendersonville NC, right outside Asheville.

It's been pretty low key today. I think we might all be getting together tomorrow evening, which is the grandson's birthday.

I have been subjected to that debate on the word "Y'all." Singular? Plural?
Yep, I was exposed to "you-ens" when I lived in the Pittsburgh area.

Atlanta is still Southern, but there are a lot of Yankees that have moved there. Other people too, like from out west and all. My son moved there from school in Nevada after his graduation. He was glad to be back in a "real city." (He did not consider Las Vegas a real city)

"I'll Fly Away" - so many memories of Jonesborough. And elsewhere.

He was glad to be back in a "real city." (He did not consider Las Vegas a real city) I'd just as soon be out of a "real city" but here we are. I had to drive out west to Eustis a couple days ago and the roads are being massively converted to handle a future that is completely urban from the Gulf Coast to the Atlantic . |

//I'd just as soon be out of a "real city" but here we are. I had to drive out west to Eustis a couple days ago and the roads are being massively converted to handle a future that is completely urban from the Gulf Coast to the Atlantic//
I know that it was back in the Dark Ages, but I used to drive from NOLA, past Mobile to my grandparents' place near Pensacola (lillian or Foley, Alabama if you know the area). It was almost all two lane highway, much of it within sight of the Gulf shoreline and beaches.
Yes that was 50 years ago, but turning hundreds of miles of open coastline to solid concrete - that is a lot of change for 50 years.
And I remember Eustis - it was nowhere. A paved two-lane was as good as it got when my parents moved to central Florida in the early 1970's.
PS - by "real city" he meant a place with deciduous trees, not fake non-indigenous palms or sagebrush.

Alrighty. Well that took a minute or two.

The sad reality of growth in most places is that more people result in more roads, more houses, more big box stores, noise, pollution, and the loss of what made things nice for those who moved in thinking it was a lovely place!
Cars are never going away, and no one dares say stop building more roads so that mass transit alternatives would become a reality in the urban areas.
Meanwhile we can enjoy some good music, humerous banter, and hear from great writers.

I don't equate deciduous trees with cities, but I do equate them with up North. These live oaks just don't make it.

"Bless your heart" can be a genuinely gracious comment, or a stiletto.

Spencer was born in Denver but he grew up in WV and WA where there a lots of real trees - both in the country and in the cities. You're right, live oaks probably don't count as real trees any more that palms or palmettos. About Atlanta churches (and other Southern cities and towns) - new neighbors and other acquaintances' first question is "What church do you belong to?" |

"Bless your heart" can be a genuinely gracious comment, or a stiletto. It does sound better than "you stupid f--k" when used as a stiletto. "Bless your heart" can be slid between the shoulder blades and nary a drop of blood is spilled. |

The Steep Canyon Rangers will be at Pickin in the Pines in Flag Sept, but it's the same weekend as MerleFest, so NC wins. I might catch the Rangers in Alexandria VA in November. I'm always up for a trip to my home state/town and I think November will be safe travels.
