All right, John, for someone hearing your story for the first time, where does your story begin?

Man, right here in Memphis, Tennessee, where I've lived all my life.

I was born and raised here.

My parents were Baptists.

They moved up here from a small town in Mississippi for work and lived here for 40-some-odd years before they retired back to where they came from.

And, you know, I gave, it's kind of the confession some of us give the first time we go back.
