Hi, Annie -

The last time I was anywhere close to you was over 30 years ago when I was living in Klamath Falls, Oregon and took a couple of weekend trips to the Vancouver area. What I saw of British Columbia burned itself deeply into my memory as one of the singular most gorgeous places I have ever had the good fortune to be.

I have been in South Carolina for nearly a half century, and this song uses a lot of local idioms I grew up hearing. Your reaction is the same way I feel when I read lyrics using current street slang. It is fascinating, but Mandarin Chinese would be as accessible. I'll see if I can keep the next one a bit more midstream. Thanks for stopping by. cue
