Y'All Come

One thing I've learned in the ten years I've been living in North Carolina, is that there really is such a thing as "Southern Hospitality". But, it's hard to describe in words. It's one of those things that can only be expressed in song. And so, back in 1998, on a record called "Context", I put together this little tribute to the good people of the south. It's called Y'all Come and it's based on something I heard on a Lawrence Welk show. And so, as you can imagine, it's about as honest and down-home as a song can ever be. All the warm welcoming joy of a Southern home is wrapped up in these short two minutes. We had a grand old time putting this together for you! All the family plays along on this one - Sanford is strumming the guitar, Clayton's on the banjo, Fuquay and Varina are singing backups, Garner's got a good grip on that washtub bass, and wee Moncure is tappin that triangle like a sweet little angel. I hope it conveys to you, dear listener, the flavor of true Southern Hospitality, something which is nearly indescribable in mere words.

Feel free to sing along! The words are easy!

And don't forget to eat your greens:

    I’m calling it at least a n90 or n100.

    damn. busted! it’s an n96, only 5 were ever made.

    all those names are little towns around Raleigh. but Fuquay and Varina are special, they’re siamese twins.
