This week's episode begins with the love/hate relationship present day Florida inspires.

The 70th annual Florida Folk Festival takes place this Memorial Day at the Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park in White Springs. Panama City Beach native Del Suggs has been performing at the Festival for almost 40 years and visiting longer than that. We discuss Florida folk music, Jimmy Buffett the festival and how it's changed over the years.

"Welcome to Florida" is sponsored by Visit Sarasota which reminds you May through October is sea turtle nesting season in state and offers these tips for beachgoers to help protect the turtles during this time.
