Widely acclaimed as a landmark film, *Deliverance* is the story of four suburban <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suburb> professional men from Atlanta, Georgia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlanta%2C_Georgia> on a weekend canoe and camping trip. The film is noted for the memorable music scene near the beginning that sets the tone for what lies ahead: a trip into unknown and potentially dangerous territory. In the scene, set at a rural gas station<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_station>, character Drew Ballinger plays the instrumental *Dueling Banjos<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dueling_Banjos> * on his guitar with a mentally retarded hillbilly<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillbilly>named Lonnie (implied as being an inbred <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inbreeding> albino<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albino>in the novel, portrayed by Billy Redden <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Redden> in the film). The boy eventually outplays Drew with his banjo. The song won the 1974 *Grammy Award for Best Country Instrumental Performance<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award_for_Best_Country_Instrumental_Performance> *.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deliverance My point was that a Benz was "wicked strange" up in them parts -- at least where the ex was from. They might be a bit more common now in the Banga' area these days. And the time of which I speak is the last half of the '70s, when anyone who had any money was driving a Saab. Yes, I know you're flying in and won't be driving one of your stable. D. On 4/22/07, Kaleb C. Striplin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
