An Inspiring Story of Selfless Courage and Life-Changing Determination "Going Home" is the story of Derek Davidson, a man with musical ability and a passion to perform. He was born in South Georgia to a saintly mother who recognized his talent, and who sewed and washed clothing for other people to see her hopes for her son come true. With her meager income plus a college scholarship, Derek was able to finish college-which in his area of the Okefenokee at the time was equivalent to becoming a rocket scientist. This story recounts the life experiences that transported Derek to a junction in life that few people will ever know-traveling the world and performing before all sorts of international audiences, including the president of the United States. Bringing a moment of joy to the U.S. armed forces overseas was a wartime venture of particular pleasure for his group on many occasions.
