[00:34.07]It's said by some of the older folks
[00:36.70]that if you get deep enough into the swamps
[00:39.51]and listen hard enough to nature
[00:41.69]that you can hear voices talking to you.
[00:45.25]They say that it is the voice of nature
[00:47.91]and that if you listen
[00:49.71]and do what you are told
[00:51.48]you will find the true meaning of existence.
[00:55.43]Now, growing up in the swamps of Louisiana

[01:27.65]with no one in ear shot of them, that is,
[01:31.60]until one day while on my way down to the fishing hole
