    Went to North Carolina and said, "Yes Mame" and I was pulled to the side and told we did not like that because it reminded her of slavery.

      Grew up in Fairbanks, Alaska here. Hunting isn't a past time or hobby up there, for most it's for survival. And if you don't know how to do basic repairs on what you own then you probably won't own it for very long. For most people up there the most difficult thing is the day and night cycles. Long winters of 18+ hours of pure darkness will mess you up if you don't know how to cope, so we are big hobby people in the wintertime.

    It's southern tradition to garden, fish, and hunt. We still can our fresh tomatoes in mason jars, hot peppers, make pickles and much more. Raise our children where they have lots of room to explore nature and learn how to survive just like Hank sang.

    My dad grew up on a farm in Ohio with 11 of his siblings. Back then taking care of the family was more important then school. He joined the Air Force when he was sixteen served 21 years as an air craft mechanic. He didn’t really read and write well but there nothing he couldn’t fix from washers, dryers, cars, air conditioners, carpentry, roofing, run wiring to connect electricity etc. We never had to call a repairman for anything. When I got old enough to know what a truck driver was I started going on runs with him listing to country music. Hank Williams Sr, Pasty Cline, Jim Revees, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Charlie Pride, I could go on and on. Country music eat it best. Men from that era were hardened patriotic family men. Men you didn’t mess with because they had to much to lose. Goggle old time country singers and have fun learning their story telling through song.
    By the way I love your show. I came upon it by accident and am glad I did.

    Great honest reaction. We are proud here in the South. Black , White, Red or Brown. A country boy is a country boy. I know what you mean by a simpler life. I lived in near Detroit in the 90s. Was always obsessed with making more money and being successful. I moved back to Ky opened up my construction business and never looked back. Just a simpler stress free life. And the races get along way better in these small towns I’ve noticed as well

I also KNOW you have lass privacy in the country. Your neighbors know when you come and go who stops over. 5 families on a 10 mile road you know who comes and goes and when. City people live on top 9f one another and could t tell you their neighbors name let alone have them stop if your broke down to lend a hand or you stopping to do so. Funny how there still is a mind your own business I'll mind mine. Quite the oxymoron lol

Most of us, would help a total stranger, just because it's the right thing to do. I can also appreciate what you were talking about with today's Hip Hop.
