The WMNF Song of the Day for February 4, 2025 is “The Leon County Sing Along Blues” by The Tall Pines.
The Tall Pines are a shack-shakin’ rock & roll duo. Connie Lynn Petruk, singing her heart out, playing drums on an alligator skin suitcase, while her partner Christmas Davis, arm-wrestles a guitar, writes songs & growls along.
Although the The Tall Pines are based in New York, the Florida connection is strong! Christmas Davis’ family is originally from north west Florida, where his Great-Grandmother owned and ministered at a church, and Bible Camp, outside of Vernon, Florida. She also hosted a Gospel radio show that aired on Sunday mornings through the 1970s and 1980s.
Christmas spent his childhood summers with his Grandmother in a cabin near Panama City, and then lived in Florida for a few years, while he attended Florida State University, and worked briefly at the Tallahassee Democrat newspaper. Christmas and Connie Lynn were married on a bayou in Point Washington, Florida.
