I went to a local music festival this weekend of bluegrass music in Apopka, FL. One of the bands played "Dixie" and, as the song started, some people stood up. Despite growing up in FL, I had never seen that before but assume it's common in other parts of the south. Some men even placed their hats over their hearts as one would for the national anthem. These were all elderly people which makes me wonder if the effect the song has on people is dying out with this last group of WW2 era folks. Does anyone know people who would stand while Dixie is played ? Am I just out of the loop with how common this still is in parts of the South ?
