In my travels, this is the singularly most warm and friendly sector of humanity that I have ever met and I haven't exactly led a sheltered life. Once, on my bike, somewhere in the hills of Virginia, I pulled into a gas station to fill 'er up. By the time I had it full, I had received an invitation to join the attendant's family for dinner, which I accepted. I guess "Deliverance" has stigmatized city slickers to some extent...but I faced my fears and had a wonderful time. Their love for music, folklore and art is paramount and they have their share of impressarios on all accounts. Great people.
