Well, hello. You're listening to Shawna the South, brought to you by Kay Snives, a tradition in my family, and by folklore brewing and maitry, literally the best beer in Alabama.

This episode you're about to hear was recorded in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Last year, as part of our travels around the U.S. and the southeast,

recorded new episodes before audiences with special guest, Tyler Grant, National Flatpicking

champion, singer, songwriter, storyteller, educator, and man of many talents with a career

spanning nearly 30 years. You don't want to miss it. And later in the show, I tell

a story about eating at an old cafe.

Let's have a listen.

Music It's late in the evening It's late in the evening and I can see that radio light and everybody gathers and everybody grab the beat together on a Saturday night

Records playing low, the moon is hanging outside.

And everybody's happy,

from grumpy old gramp happy

together on a Saturday night.

Well, you are listening to Sean of the South.

We are coming to you live from Tennessee.

This episode brought to you by K. Snive, the tradition in my family and by Polklau Bure and Meary.

Official guest tonight, Tyler Gratz on the guitar, everybody. Mm-hmm.

If you're feeling low, hey listen, buddy, I'm your guy.

Just hurry and come over, mama made apple turnovers together

on the Saturday night. Mm. Mm are proud to be here.

A lot of things I like about this wonderful state, but I'm going to be here in Tennessee, proud to be here. A lot of things I like about this wonderful state,

but I'm gonna start at the top.

Because in Tennessee, they have moon pies.
