Those of you planning to visit Miss. be sure to drive the Natchaz Trace. It's a lovely drive.

That's where I learned to drive on real roads. My father would take me there when I was 14/15, then he would move over and let me drive. There was so little traffic, and the speed limit was only 50mph, so he thought it was safer.
My favorite area of the Trace is between Jackson and Natchez.

That's okay hon, we lived in South Jackson on Levell Woods Drive. It's strange to think that you were born there the same year as my son. Yeah, I was born in Tenn. but it's not my favorite state at all. I loved Miss., Ala, Va, and WV. My husband loves Tenn and kept trying to move me back there. I wouldn't stay. Ha.

Wonderful Thread, Lori. Thank you. Thanks for the compliments and for coming by, Amy.
What is that music that you posted? Is it Jo Stafford singing "Shrimp Boats"? I can't get Windows Media Player to play it. When my computer was re-built and Windows XP re-installed I lost all of my programs, like RealPlayer. I need to download and install it. Maybe I can do that tonight. I didn't know that Windows Media Player won't recognize .ram files.

The music is Jambalaya by Jo Stafford. I couldn't find Shrimp Boats. Jambalaya is more suited to Louisiana but decided it might work anyway.
I'll try to get back later. (I think I have a poem : )

What a great website, petitfour. Lots to see and do in Mississippi!
I wanted to include so much more in my post, like some of the history; the battle of Vicksburg, etc., places to visit and also about some of the people who have come from Mississippi...such as ELVIS PRESELY, The King of Rock and Roll, who was born in Tupelo....but I ran out of space. There is just too much to say about your state. :-(
I depend upon people like you to come and fill in the blank spots. And you two have done a great job.
To: dixiechick2000
It IS a very lovely state, and your thread has done it proud. What a nice compliment. Thank you.
I love the Gulf Coast. But, if you go there, watch your wallet. There are many casinos just dying to relieve you of it's contents. ;o)
I saw references to casinos on some of the Mississippi websites I visited. I would have never connected casinos with Mississippi.
I made a visit to your profile page. You did the Richard Petty Driving Experience?!? My husband has made his reservations and is going to do that at Lowe's Motor Speedway while we are in Charlotte this summer. He is so excited he can hardly stand it.

To paraphrase a wonderful song by Alabama:

I'd be right behind you if there was any way possible to uproot our small business and take it (and our clientele) with us.
I understand your situation.
Husband is having to sell his medical practice,
but he is of retirement age, so it's working out perfectly.

My grandaddy played with his band, and my mother still has the ukelele he used at that time.
WOW!
You never told me this.
I bet you sing and dance too. :)
I know you took piano lessons.
