The young man depicted on horseback in the painting is my cousin, Lt. Colonel John Pelham. John Pelham’s mother was a McGehee. Lisa, thank you for your part in allowing me to notice that.

After finding this one, I looked for other renditions of it, but this one is my favorite. The penny whistle and the voices go so well together, and the words and the music bring to mind a simpler, more honest time. If Southern Agrarianism had an anthem – this would be it. Thank you, ma’am, for stopping by and visiting.

Beautiful!
