What!? I'm disqualified!?

OK. Apparently by popular demand....
As played by the famous Flatt and Scruggs

Come and listen to my story
'Bout a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer,
Barely kept his family fed.
And then one day
He was shootin' at some food,
And up through the ground came a-bubblin' crude.

Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.

Well the first thing you know
Ol' Jed's a millionaire,
Kinfolk said "Jed move away from there".
Said "California's the place you outta be".
So they loaded up the truck
And they moved to Beverly.

Hills that is, Swimming pools, movie stars.

Well now it's time to say
Goodby to Jed and all his kin,
They would like to thank
You folks for kindly droppin' in.
You're all invited back again to this locality
To have a heapin' helpin' of their hospitality.

Hillbilly that is, sit a spell, take your shoes off.

Y'all come back now, y'hear?
 
the lost verse from the actual song:

Old Jed bought a mansion, lordy it was swank
Next door neighbor's the president of the bank.
Lotta folks complaining but the banker found no fault
'Cause all Jed's millions, was a-sitting in the vault!

Redemption funds. Stocks and bonds.

@wisbang35 , I remember last year when your son received his scholarship with a 23 ACT it gave my daughter and I a lot of hope! At the time she had just re-taken her test and had received a 25 (super score was 26, we were thankful that CC super scores!) She had read on here so many times that she needed to have a 28 or above, which I am sure would of helped, however, she was out of time and had improved her score from a 22 from the previous testing date. Your words of encouragement and reminding all of us that it is a whole person score was perfectly timed and much appreciated! Good luck to your son, next school year is approaching very quickly!

Thank you Dckc88! The other parts of the WCS can overcome one less than stellar section. But from the wise words of Jcleppe a couple years ago: You can't get a scholarship if you don't apply. No one should assume they can't get one because certain sections are lacking. Build your best resume and go for it!

Where's LITS when you need him to remind us that the theme song was played by Flatt and Scruggs; Earl Scruggs being maybe the greatest banjo picker of all time.
 
Scruggs was certainly the most influential banjo picker of all time.... And the best of his time, maybe ever (Bela Fleck is damn good, as is Ryan Cavanaugh).
