I'm a sixth generation Floridian

Cracker!

When I hear "Seminole Wind", by John Anderson I get chills up my spine. I have several of his CDs and I play them often when traveling.

I know, I'm a Florida cracker, my kid's seventh generation and my niece has kids, so her kids are eighth generation.

We are "rare birds" here in the Sunshine State.

It's on my dad's side. He was raised in Taylor county and moved to this area as a boy. My mom was also born and raised here (Pinellas), but her parents were Canadian.

John is from Apopka. Used to go with a gal whose daddy worked with John before he made it big. Anyway, the Florida John sings about is slowly being developed away. Listen to any of the songs by Skynyrd, Tom Petty, Anderson, Blackfoot, Hatchet and you'll hear about old Florida.
