      I live in North Florida now. But I did take a trip to the swamp just last February. It's a really beautiful place. So sad about them turning all the snakes loose down there and them overtaking the small animal population. I can't even imagine what it looked like before people in Industry messed it up. But what they have saved is really something to see

    This song is a gem. He's referring to Osceola. A Seminole/Scottish mixed man who became a rebel warrior leader against the United States. They had firearms and they were one of the more difficult tribes along with the Comanche for the US to fight. They would hide their encampments in the swamps and live off the animals the swamp provided. Well known for hunting and eating gators. I wish a director would make a historical epic movie about Osceola and the Seminoles refusal to give up and had this song in it during the climax. They were the only tribe who never officially surrendered to the United States expansion. Powerful tribute and testament to that.

    • @vladyvhv9579
      @vladyvhv9579 Před měsícem

      The seminole are part of the Muskogee, along with the Creek. Most of the Creek were forcefully relocated. But it's customary for Creeks and Seminoles to greet one another as "brother/sister" in a spiritual sense, akin to how the terms are used in churches.

    John Anderson is from northern Florida. He's got swamp water in his veins and in his voice. He's a legend who had two distinct eras to his career. In the late 70s/early 80s he was one of the few keeping real honky tonk music alive. He had a whole string of hits you should check out eventually. But the song you MUST do first is "Swinging". His star faded for awhile, but he came back with a vengeance in the 90s and really cemented himself as an all-timer. "Seminole Wind" was from this later part of his career.

    Lake Okeechobee once drained south into the Everglades. To control flooding and provide water for Big Ag (sugar cane), the entire lake was diked. Overflow was sent east and west and has been destroying coastal estuaries ever since. The estuaries are home to (among other critters) manatees, flamingos, herons, ibis, anhinga, eagles, hawks, gar, turtles, snook, and blue crabs.

My family and I were lucky enough to be picked out of a line at one of his concerts to go back stage and meet John. John stepped out of his bus and into a tent where the 4 of us were waiting, he introduced himself and told us to help ourselves to the food. Our 4 year old son John looked up at Anderson and proudly exclaimed his name was John too. Anderson got down on one knee the the two John's had quite the conversation. Our 10 year old daughter was starstruck and couldn't even talk, she stood there wide eyed lol. John walked us out to the stage and sat us in the front row, center stage. It was an awesome night.

He blew my mind with this one in '92 with how hauntingly beautiful it is. Do yourself a favor and watch the official music video of this song for your own pleasure, they did a great job in bringing the visuals that fit the song. I'm glad to see him still touring.

But theres still the places where we can go feel that seminole wind "blow from the okeechobee all the way up to micanopy. "

    Hey guys. Osceola was a leader of the seminoles. He was the son of a Native mother (she was a member of the Muscogee tribe) and I believe a Scottish father. John has had some big hits. Deserves a little deeper dive. I know you guys love the instrumentals of classic country and bluegrass, and those great songs and stories. I am going to resend 2 links for you. Two songs from a concert by Patty Loveless and her band (at the time). Guitars, banjo, mandolin, dobro and twin fiddles. The first song is a haunting tune and the 2nd is an upbeat toe tapper. Patty has one of the best voices in the genre. I really think you'll like them. Enjoy. czcams.com/video/1n57WBtvtC4/video.html czcams.com/video/Nj67hHp5GQ0/video.html

      Muskogee were from the Choctaw nation. MY great great grandmother was full blooded Choctaw from the Muskogee tribe. She was fluent in the language.

      @@poosala8821That’s not true. They’re two different nations. I happen to be half a quarter Chickasaw, a quarter Choctaw, and half Muskogee by blood. A member of the Muskogee nation. They all speak speak languages of the Muskogean language family, but they are not the same and the Chickasaw laid further north in North Alabama and West Tennessee, Choctaw laid further west in Mississippi and Louisiana, while the Muskogee- or Creek- laid further East in Alabama and Georgia. Once they were moved out west to Oklahoma territory, they began intermingling there. I speak both Choctaw and Muskogee, the Chickasaw language is pretty much dead now. They also differ in culture, so you’re information is wrong. I mean no disrespect, but I just wanted you to know.

    John is the real deal. I have been listening to him almost 50 years. This is a powerful song and him and his band nail it.John hopefully will be inducted soon to the Country Music Hall of fame. He is well overdue. Another great Southern Country singer. New country will never match the real country music from my generation and I am 70. I saw George Strait when he started and doing the county fair circuits.We had some great singers come out in the 70's,80's and early 90's.Thanks for reviewing so much great music and being appreciative of talent.

    John Anderson is one of the most humble and authentic Country singers out there. From "Black Sheep of the Family," to "Lower on the Hog" to "Swingin" he has at least 11 albums and its hard to pick a favorite. With his unique Joe Cocker style grit in his voice with his heave sothern drawl. My wife and Daughters have seen him at least 20 times starting back in 1983. He has been having health issues the last couple of years, so don't miss out on him like some did with Charlie Danials. Where some people only reacted to him after he died.

    John Anderson, age 69, born in Apopka, Fla. in 1954, wrote "Seminole Wind." Many country artists don't write their own material.

  • @ParkerAllen2
    @ParkerAllen2 Před rokem +6

    The 1980s was one of the great eras to be a country music fan because so many talented young singers who loved traditional country music got started at that time. John Anderson was one of them. Others included George Straight, Ricky Skaggs, Dwight Yoakam, Lyle Lovett and Randy Travis. They all produced wonderful music. For fans of traditional roots-based country music it was the last era where there was an abundance of that kind of country music on the radio.

    John has that pure country voice. I knew him in high school.....graduated in the same class in '72. Though he's had a few big hits (Check out Swingin) I think John never desired to be a huge country star. He was able to do what he loved, and kept the lifestyle he wanted.

My first experience with y'alls channel was 25 or 6 to 4, a song that made fall in love with chicago in my early teenage years. Getting the opportunity to partake in the experience of hearing these things for the first time has brought me infinite joy and has brought back countless memories that I'd completely forgotten to that point. I can't thank y'all enough for that.
