My mom's father, his family's from, oh, entirely from the pines.
The last name like Bo's arty, you find Bo's arty, you shake a tree out here and Bo's arts will fall out of it.
But for me, it's also a connection to my native ancestry, my mom's side, grandfather's family.
Some of his ancestors are the local Lenape Indians.
The Lenape are part of the piney culture.
Hell, as I said, the Lenape were the first pineys.
Right now, if you're wondering, I'm straightening these ribs.
Really, with retan, this retan, I say broke.
There's always controversy, who's a piney and what makes one a piney.
I think a lot of that is tied up in the identity of the pines itself.
It's a place that definitely has a spirit of its own in a way.
It's individual and a person.
It's elusive. It's very elusive on what that is that brings people here or holds people here.
And I guess if they feel they're pineys, they're pineys.
I'm not really at to say who's a piney and who's not.
Sometimes, I have to get aggravated with people who try to claim a redneck mantle as part of the piney identity.
This is my pet peeve. Some people, that's their identity.
They're welcome to it, but you guys may claim me a redneck that does not make one a piney.
Some folks forget the Mason-Dixon line ends at Delaware.
It doesn't come across it. It doesn't come across South Jersey.
Some people say I'm not a piney because I don't live here.
You know my ancestry, a quarter of my ancestry is from here.
Some people say an ancestry is not part of the criteria.
How do I do that?
Oh, this is the problem with weaving baskets.
When you make a mistake, you have to pull all out again.
You have to do it over.
