Notes: My musical journey has been a major player in the creation of many of my recipes. This one was inspired by Bertha. A lovely lady and the best biscuit maker ever! Bertha gave me a place to live during my stay in Nashville Tennessee, while learning the music business, and gathering knowledge about song writing from the best. I tried to squeeze the secret recipe out of her but without success. But after many tries, I feel like I have come up with a recipie of my own, that is pretty close. thanks Bertha
