Dad’s family’s been in coastal NC longer than this country has been in existince......since the 1720’s. Mom was from the Cumberland Mountains in TN. I live in VA, courtesy of the USN (Retired).
I grew up down in Louisiana in a community of Okie transplants sandwiched in between the cajuns in the south and the rednecks in the north. Moved to Nashville in 84.
