One of my favorite things about the South is music... even in a particular genre, there are many flavors for the ears to taste...

One of my other favorite things is southern women. We rock. Period.

Here's to celebrating all us grownass southern women!

To go back to the beginning of the thread.

I love to go barefoot and proud of it! It is warmer in the South.

There are red necks everywhere. Go to a tractor pull in Los Angeles and look for yourselves.

The North actually is way more segregated than the South. In Detroit and Chicago for example the races live pretty separately, not in case in Nashville. I was shocked the first time I visited Detroit, I found it amazingly racist. Still. My G/F is from upstate New York, they did not even go to school with anyone Black or Latino, in the 70's and 80's and her family uses the N word (she does not).

Actually NEW YORK used to be the center of slavery, it was just earlier than in the South. Slavery came to the South with the cotton gin much later on.

Black slaves built the White House and most of our country, its not just the South who had slavery.

The confederate flag? Yes, most people see it as racist, I don't fly it. I did however see a Vespa with a confederate flag on it the other day and almost wrecked laughing.

I love Nashville, it is a great place to be.

It makes me angry to hear about people in the South being dumb and having a bad rep. Come on, everywhere has its drawbacks.

Yes indeedy, we love some southern women! We saw this family perform this song last year at the Ryman... Her voice and the acoustics of this wonderful hall of music history brought chills and still do when I hear it! Hope y'all like it!
