It’s the third of June, another sleepy, dusty delta day.

Time for biscuits, black- eyed peas and apple pie as I ponder over one of the best songs ever recorded.

I was out choppin' cotton, and my brother was balin' hay
And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
And mama hollered out the back door, y'all, remember to wipe your feet

Maybe, but no one really knows for sure.

I do miss my time as a child in the Delta. Grew up in NOLA, but grandparents lived in Cleveland. It really is a nice Oasis in the Delta. Going there and eating cornbread, lima beans, mashed potatoes. And I really enjoyed dipping my cornbread in the mash potato gravy. Also, I take strong issue with those who prefer sweet cornbread over the real thing. Played a lot of golf there as well. Not a bad little town
