Monday will be Memorial Day.  Cornbread & Buttermilk would like to thank those who gave their lives so that Americans can continue to enjoy freedom.  We are grateful to be born Americans.  It does not matter how our ancestors got here, or who they were.   It doesn’t matter where they came from, what they came with, or what they left behind.   It only matters that they came, they stayed, and they built something better than what they had left behind.  My ancestors harnessed a wild land.  However, they first had to harness the wilderness in their  mind,  and halter the fear of not knowing.  
There’s lots of work to be done.  You should learn everything, and teach what you learn to others.  I taught Linda Cakes how to make cornbread last week on the podcast, so she can teach her grand daughter.  Share the knowledge, learn to fish, then teach someone to fish.  This is the way according to Cornbread.

You can find Edward Phillips on YouTube.   Go to @Edwardphillipsroots for more of his music.  Learn about  the history behind the Delta and Piedmont Blues.  Edward brings the music of Sun House, Blind Willie Johnson, and Robert Johnson to life with his stories.

Cornbread and Miguel lay hands on the land.
