Love me some Darius. Used to listen to Hootie and the Blowfish all the time when stationed in North Carolina and I worked and trained on the beach there. Then after we moved and he went solo, Wagon Wheel came out and it made me miss NC bad. We almost moved back there for retirement. Almost.
We spent some time in the Cherokee National Forest when I was there as a kid. It was fun. You know, I just recently started revisiting that debut Hootie and the Blowfish album and I forgot how many great songs it has on it. It's truly a fantastic album from the first song to the last.
