Speaking of tomatoes and plants and growing, I don't know how I was unfamiliar that, I mean, I know you from your music, love your music.
I didn't know that your part-time job or your other job, your side gig is growing trees.
As a matter of fact, about an hour ago, I was in the forest working and, you know, shining up the trees and making sure everything is growing as they should be and looking after the land, my friend.
I didn't know because before the show, I was talking to Ashley Frasca, who hosts Green and Growing here every Saturday morning on WSB.
And you've been I mean, I'm so far out of the loop, like Governor Sonny Perdue appointed you to the Georgia Land Conservation Council in 2008.
You know, I've acted not only as a private forest landowner, but as an advocate.
I've written some books about forestry, children's book called The Tree Farmer, a book on the history of forestry called Forever Green, the history and hope of the American forests.
And one on smart growth that has to do with trying to grow in the right way, environmentally sound growth, smart growth, as we say, called... smart, strong and sustainable, growing a better America.
I didn't even know that you have this other side to you, which I think is absolutely phenomenal.
