    I moved to southeast Louisiana from the Ohio Valley in 1982. For me, the greatest difference is the pace of life in the south is much slower. Trust me, this can be a good thing. After all these years, occasionally I still must remind myself that I’m on Southern time, and to chill out. It may be partially caused by the heat and humidity, two factors that cause a certain languor in both transplants and natives. Good manners are expected, and saying ‘Yes, m’am’ and ‘No sir’ to almost everybody is quite common. Think conservative, with some flamboyant exceptions (New Orleans). Unfortunately, I have no personal experience with the Pacific Northwest, but would love to check it out one day.

    I’m 40 and am always delighted to find a teen who is discovering / enjoying classic rock. It’s kind of like rediscovering it with them, turning them on to early Pink Floyd, or Eric Clapton when he was playing with Creem. I look at it like the older generation is ‘passing the torch’ of a great genre of music to a whole new group of kids. So many teens are into only hip-hop, rap, and techno and look at classic rock as being part of their parents’ generation and uncool. To me, it’s a little like turning someone onto the blues, a style of music that crosses about every racial and ethnic line you can think of. Keep on rockin’ in the free world!
