I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. The Devil went down to Georgia himself while living in Nashville.  I was standing on his back porch with him looking out into the beautiful Tennessee valley... In the middle of the pasture were 3 tall pine trees.  I asked him where those pine trees came from. because there were no other pine trees in sight for miles. He said," North Carolina, my birthplace. I planted these from saplings to remind me of my roots....to never forget where I came from."

I can still see those pine trees in my mind and hear his words in my head.....
