Robert Downing remembers things. Things that will probably make you jealous or nostalgic, depending on which generation you're a part of. He remembers The Kingsman rolling into the Anniston City Auditorium with their hit song "Louie, Louie." He also remembers singer/songwriter Lou Christie belting out his falsetto on "Lightning Strikes" in the same venue.

On most days, the old pinewood house in the Williams community of Jacksonville is a quiet place, just another plot of land on Pleasant Valley Road, a mile or so from Green's Store and the First Presbyterian Church. But on Friday nights, the house comes alive, the quiet broken by twanging guitars and singing fiddles, by clapping hands and the occasional hoot or holler. On those Friday nights, even though no one takes a permanent residence at the house, the family comes home.
