Also missing, as far as I can see:
"Mason Dixon's on the line,
Tell 'em I'm doing fine,
Gonna buy us a bottle of bonded whiskey and
Talk over old times.
Mason Dixon's on the phone,
Tell 'em I'm coming home....."
Or is it possible that Mrs. Schwerin scanned down this list of titles, noted two that sounded like something bad happening in Georgia, and without having a clue about the actual contents of the songs, said "Harrumph, we'll just see about that!" and came on to claim that the song is somehow redolent of Sherman's march?
Don't get me started on "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" except to say that only someone utterly paranoid and obsessed would claim that the Devil in the song, challenging a boy to fiddling contest and losing, represents William T. Sherman.
"including #1 about lynching I never heard of."
That's your failing, not the song's. It's a classic, and very well known.
Well...since you are Mr. Argument for the sake of an argument, I have absolutely no intention of answering you. Just toddle on over elsewhere for an answer, which of course you want no such thing. For if you did, you'd drop that high and mighty, I know everything attitude. And for future reference, I am not interested in entertaining any silly and nonsensical ideas or profound insights of yours. So please do not post to me with silly stuff...
But you're the one who made the statement. There is no "over elsewhere" that can answer why you said what you said.
And for future reference, I am not interested in entertaining any silly and nonsensical ideas or profound insights of yours
You're the one with the profound insight that those two songs have Sherman's march somehow written all over them. I really want to hear in what way this is so. You made the statement. Why are you so unwilling to stand by it and defend it? Are you embarrassed by it now that I've pointed out what those two songs (which YOU came on to this thread and posted about) have nothing to do with the Civil War?
Mmmmmmm, no.
have you noticed how FEW of the hate-FILLED arrogant DYs are NOT here???

perhaps you're wearing your tinfoil hat today and/or you're just being a twit, as usual.
meanwhile, head over to DU & sup with the banned members of the "DAMNyankee coven". i believe you'll be MUCH happier there.

A lovely song and proof positive that the art of writing an inspiring spiritual is not yet dead.
Also yet another of the Southern top 100 written by a Yankee.
No, but you jumped right to Mrs. Schwerin's defense when I asked her about the songs. I figured that since you and she were so friendly (swoops of the plumed hat and all that stuff) you might like to explain what she's talking about when she says those songs are somehow about Sherman's Georgia campaign. My mistake.
perhaps you're wearing your tinfoil hat today
I think the tinfoil sunbonnet award goes to Mrs. Schwerin, who must see yankees in her breakfast cereal.
fyi, soon there will be even LESS DAMNyankee lunatics on FR.(they will NOT be missed.)
actually, i posted what i did to you as i believe you were RUDE to a really nice LADY. if you don't like what she says/thinks/believes, just "scroll on by". your comments will not be missed by anyone here.

Have you ever had a listen to "Blue Yodel Yell #9" by Jimmie Rodgers and then listened to "T for Texas" by Lynyrd Skynyrd?
As stated on the live album, "T for Texas" is an old Jimmie Rodgers tune. What Ronny and the boys did with this tune to create the new arrangement is absolute genius. What a great tune.
T for Themler.....
< lighter raised >
It gets even better if you understand it!
It's just before Marti Gra and they are braggin' about what they could do to the other's tribe one day.
"I could, I could one day."
