The yield curve describes the yields for Treasury bills, notes and bonds. It's called a curve because, if it were plotted on a graph, the yields would normally slope up. That's because Treasury bills, which are of short duration, don't usually pay as high a yield as the notes and even longer-term bonds. Why?
Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd Songfacts. Lynyrd Skynyrd is from Jacksonville, Florida. They wrote this song about their impressions of Alabama and as a tribute to the studio musicians at Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, where they recorded from 1970-1972.
The song was also a hit in '25 for Isham Jones and His Orchestra as well as Ethel Waters. Cover versions of Sweet Georgia Brown have been performed in a wide variety of styles and genres ranging from a cappella to zydeco, with the most famous version laid to wax by Brother Bones and His Shadows in 1949.
