When I was in third grade, Pam Morris, music teacher at West Forest Elementary School in Opelika, Alabama, taught our class a song called Alabamy Bound (If you’ve never heard it before, give the link a click. Ray’s version isn’t the original, but it’s one of my favorites). It was part of a unit about Alabama-related music meant to teach us about our history that also included our state song but also several songs by the band Alabama. Pam knew her audience. Fast forward 10 years and I found myself in Bryant-Denny Stadium trying to be a good girlfriend but resisting having a good time at an Alabama Football game.
