In My Own Backyard

Sunday night Pat and I were at the Southern Folklore Center in downtown Memphis attending their free annual music festival.  Darrell Petties and members of his congregation were one of the featured bands. They sang a portion of this song to a crowd that included people from Japan, New Zealand, and Australia.  One of the New Zealanders told me, "There's just nothing like Southern Black Gospel. Nowhere in the world."

Sometimes when something's in your own backyard, you fail to appreciate it.
