Welcome to the Southland. Welcome to the land where the traditions of the English Country-side still survive. Welcome to a mindset that is more than day to day. Welcome to the Lowcountry, the Blue Ridge, Sand Hills and Swamps.
This is my land, this is my place. Come and go as you please, but leave it as you found it.
We gave you the Drive By Truckers, Avett Brothers, Allman Brothers, Widespread Panic and so many more. We built Charleston, New Orleans and Savannah. We've been burned to the ground, homes lost and lands foreclosed. Yet our culture and traditions still remain.
The South is football, hunting, fishing and drinking. It's Bear Bryant, Steve Spurrier, Peyton, Eli and Archie, Robert E. Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson. In the South we know that sweet tea is still the coldest and best drink on a hot day. We cook whole hogs, half hogs and shoulders too. We rarely travel without a cooler full of beer, bourbon and mixers. The Good Ol' Boy Network is not what you think it is, but is everything you hoped it would be.
"I wish I was in the land of cotton/
Old times they are not forgotten/
look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land"
This land is part of us and we part of it. And, as has been the case through the teachings handed down through the generations that came before us. We respect the land, we do our best to preserve the land and in doing so, it will preserve our culture for generations to come.
