So...I've been doing instead of writing about doing and I've let the writing fall by the wayside - at least here, I have...I mean, there's the Facebook page, the Floyd Council website, the IndieGoGo, my personal page, my Facebook and all the e-mailing and arm-twisting and messaging I've been doing...

Writing hasn't been the problem, just keeping up with it...

See, I'm the world's worst typist anyway.  I hunt and peck my way through every sentence, painfully clicking along...

I promise to do better.

Floyd on Facebook

Ressurection

Yeah...it's not so much that I haven't been doing anything with Floyd...just that the doing has been taking up so much time that I always hafta choose being doing and writing about doing.  The writing part always seems to lose out.  I'm back with lots of content...

Cedric Burnside Wants to Help Out

Cedric Burnside, grandson of R.L. Burnside and this year's Blues Music Award winner for best drummer signed four sticks for us to raffle or auction off to raise money for the TBS and the Floyd Council Memorial Fund.  He puts on a hell of a show besides...

Knotts and Watson

There are two other funeral homes in Sanford that used the White Oak cemetery as a "potter's field" after 1965: Knotts and Watson.  I reckon on monday I'll call both of them and see if either one has a legend for the White Oak cemetery.

Horton Funeral Home

I called and spoke to the woman who's running the L. Horton Funeral Home in Sanford.  This was the family funeral home that buried Floyd 34 years ago.  She is adamant that they have no surviving records of him nor do they have a legend of the White Oak cemetery.  I wondered aloud how they can keep from burying people on top of each other if they still use the cemetery but don't know who's buried where out there.  She is not the first person to imply that maybe they haven't been so careful over the years about who's buried on top of whom... 

She gave me some names of persons in the family who are no longer associated with the business but once were and might remember something - haven't been able to reach either of them so far...

NC Cemetery Commission

The North Carolina Cemetery Commission insists that they don't have any records regarding the White Oak Cemetery...

I'm muttering foul, foul things under my breath.
