I was with Y’all every minute recounted.

I asked pals and buds a while back wouldn’t they like to do this adventure and the group answer pretty much individually was the same - why, having lived within spitting distance of TheRiver most Our lives, would I want to do this?

Cause TheRiver is part of Me.

My first memories are of The Tallahatchie and The Panola Waterway - called The Double Ditches round Crowder - and no matter what any body says, those waterways are TheRiver.

Second objection was We are too old for such a jaunt ( this from the same folks that were in Milwookie last weekend for 3 nights of Widespread Panic and all that entails ).

My PaPaw was a dragline operator digging the Double Ditches and when I got dating age, living up to Mrmphus, I’d only go out with fellows that worked on TheRiver. Good policy. It kept spice in my life and excitement when Honey’d get home.

I’m only 66 and I’m gone try one more time to get the old gang to take a River trip.

If they answer no, I’m coming any way. I’ve seen most parts of Our grand country and twould be a shame to shuffle off into The Universe nevah having floated TheRiver.

ThankYou for the story.

Remember Duane Allman.

Watch Yer topknot.

I wish for You, "fair winds and following seas" til next time😎
