Yes, I meant Scottsboro. You blink your eyes going through and you missed it.

Wonder if you can guess the name of their band?

Scottsdale? Huh, I believe thats in Arizona. Scottsboro is in Alabama. Home of the world renowned "Unclaimed Baggage"

The country group, Alabama, is from Ft. Payne. Right here in DeKalb County. Randy Owens, Jeff Cook and Teddy Gentry still live here. Don't know about Mark Hendron.

Theres a sign going into Centre, Alabama thats says "Welcome to Centre and Weiss Lake- The Crappie (pronounced "CROP-py", as in the fish), Capital of the World". That sign cracks me up. I wonder how many non-anglers get the wrong impression of Centre when they read that sign!

Much appreciated.
While you're at it, maybe you can clear this up for us...

Is there any truth to the old joke?:

Q: How is an Alabama tornado similar to an Alabama divorce?
A: Either way, somebody's about to lose a trailer!

Yes,
The Blind Boys from Alabama are a black Gospel group.
I tried to embed a YouTube sample but couldn't.
They're famous around the world.

Get familiar with the Decatur area, one of the biggest aerospace hubs in the country from what my brother tells me. True story....when they moved there 20 years ago from Kansas, they put their daughter in private school because the public school she was enrolled in was too far ahead of her. Another true story....I guy I was in the Navy with moved from CA to AL back in the early 70's and they put him back a grade for the same reason.
