I just got to thinking after reading a reply to my 'Landmark Legal Foundation' thread. When I was in school, our fight song was 'Dixie.' We got integrated by Senior Year, and 'Dixie' was played no more.
In the thirty years since then, I don't think I've heard 'Dixie' played by a band on more than four or five occasions. And I've lived in the Old South for all of that period (if you can consider Texas a part of the 'Old South' as I do).
Lord, we sure have given up a lot of the things our fathers held near and dear.
I mean after all, after the unfortunate meeting at Appomattox, Abraham Lincoln requested that the band play 'Dixie' as one of his favorite tunes!
Heard it lately, I mean in public? Surely they still play it in the Southeast Conference games?
