When I was a kid, during the 60s and 70s, a local TV station had a live 30-minute music show that aired early each weekday morning. It was called "Alabama Jubilee."
Raised on the Beatles and rock and roll, my friends and I made fun of it, yet we watched it all: Porter Wagner's TV Show, Jim and Jesse, Johnny Cash, you name it. Years later to our eternal surprise, we found this music had made its way into our souls.
Right now there are many hard-hearted people who seem willing to use the culture of the South to gain power and to hurt others. So I got the idea for this this thread, hoping to combat the forces who would drive us apart.
What are the songs that made you who you are? The ones that still speak to you today?
Post them here, and if you would, tell us a little about why they are important to you. You can't hijack culture to drive people apart when they share who they are, and celebrate one another.
This song charts the history of the journey of the United States, through the Civil War and right up to the promise of the Civil Rights era:
One thing they can't kill is a dream.
"Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other." -- President John F. Kennedy
Is there a song that remembers when for you?
