Yep, that's a favorite for sure. When I was in school in Gainesville, none of us ever had a pot to piss in, and couldn't afford to do much, so we'd go bass fishing on the weekends. Mostly to Lochloosa, Cross Creek or the Ocklawaha River, and this song always stuck in my head then.
Ronnie was a prophet, and I knew then that the beauty of those places wouldn't last, so we appreciated them even more. Even then we could see
- the concrete a' slowly creepin' - and that was right at 40 years ago.
You've heard of JJ Grey I'm sure, another Florida Boy from the outskirts of Jax. You'll like this one, if you haven't heard it. Passionate about our area.
Ron, you probably already know this, but it might be the most beautiful thing Ronnie ever wrote:

Thanks, Ron. Great tune. I hadn't heard that in years. Thanks for bringing it back.
