I broke my rules in sharing your post. It was that damn good. I never (almost) restack a post twice with a quote from within. I did this one three times. I also don't link anything with YT links inside (only in rare exceptions), but yours went up, again, 3x.

Great work man. Thanks.

Thank you for this, and also thank you for the intro to Starr of Apalachia. :)

I come from what some might call a "mixed" marriage... my mother's people are Scots Irish settled for many generations in the northern Alabama, southern Tennessee area. My father's people are New England/Maritime Canada Puritan stock. They themselves have conducted a graceful marriage (going on 65 years now, and counting). But the cultural differences I have always seen, between relatives on my mother's side and relatives on my father's side, are stark. It took me a very long time to work them out.
