I need to check my facts....

That said, I am pretty sure that there is a Dayton connection to that soundtrack.

[SKATE RAT]

i belive the term Redneck came from either coal miners or railroad workers staging one of the first strikes and they all wore a red hankercheif around their neck.i saw some tv show about it once.

Redneck was originally a name for a southern farmer, the back of his neck was burnt by the sun.  The mine workers adopted it later.

Calling somebody a 'Southern Redneck' is like calling a New Yorker a 'Northern Yankee'.

Man of Constant Sorrow is Dan Tyminski from Union Station...don't know if he's from Dayton or not...

Dan's from Vermont (Rutland if I remember correctly).  About as far from a southern redneck as you can get.

I also found that one of the guys from Union Station is from Warren, Ohio.

And, Richie Furay of Poco and Buffalo Springfield fame, is from Yellow Springs, OH.

We shouldn't even mention the fact that the KKK (at least at one time) had it's strongest foothold in Indiana.

Didn't Jeff Foxworthy hit on his redneck jokes after noticing that a bowling alley in Detroit offered valet parking?

All this talk...I went out and bought myself a banjo from someone on craigslist after work today...good instrument at a good price...boy am I rusty. Was good to play again, though. Weighs more than a T-40.
