Hello from the Fenland UK

[JohnM]

Did you REALLY think us Brits would get that connection Doug? I'm not sure Mike will appreciate his beautiful Fenlands being called a swamp, but I can see a sort of similarity to your Everglades. As a lifelong fan of Skiffle (and thus Bluegrass), I do admit to having heard of The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, but I doubt many others this side of the pond will have. Having listened to the song, I can appreciate the sentiments you tried to give out, and I apologise for my sarcastic query but for a minute there I was imagining a possible Moslem connection.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome.
