My Affinity To Dixie

I love the words
antebellum jambalaya gumbo okra grits
the immortal songs of Hank Williams
graceland mansions tar paper shacks
spanish moss pecan trees
giant magnolia blooms
scenting the southern air
bayous moonshine
water snakes alligators
Cajun foods Creole cooking
New Orleans Blues
the great rockers
Elvis and Jerry Lee
Little Richard Fats Domino
the indomitable Ray Charles
Harper Lee's
To Kill A Mockingbird
I've never been to Dixie
but I would if I could.
