Editor’s Note: Events down in the Great State of Georgia caused Marlow to look at his music collection for a compendium of song titles about the indomitable Rock of the South. Part of the family last spent time there for the Battle of Peachtree Creek and a small business in derailing trains. The subsequent walk back to Tennessee took a few weeks. Just like this election.
