Oh, I forgot the Gatlin Brothers! Technically, though, that was not a concert. It was a show they put on at Six Flags over Texas, and my church youth group had gone to Six Flags that day. They were fantastic. When they sang "Broken Lady'" everyone in the audience was singing along, and when...

Well, that is a part of the story that I just realized I managed to leave out. The coliseum holds about 12,000. There were about 10,000 there, and when it was announced that George Jones "was under the weather because of air-sickness due to turbulence on the plane ride" then about a third of the...

I thought Mark Collie played was way more Johnny Cash that Joaquin Phoenix. His short film "I Still Miss Someone" was, in my opinion, a spot-on performance. Didn't he make that film as a kind of an "audition" to play The Man in Black in "I Walk the Line?"

I want to say it was in 1983 or '82 maybe ... Hank just stomped around on stage and hollered at us to get up and have fun. I really got the impression that most of the crowd had come out to see George Jones and I think Hank, Jr. could sense that. He didn't like playing second fiddle, even though...

Ted was awesome. This was back in the early 80's when he was clad in a leopard breechclout and nothing else. He swung in like Tarzan on a big cable and started playing his guitar and it was non-stop for about two hours. He was wringing wet with sweat and grinning like a fat kid in a candy store...

ZZ Top twice Kiss Ted Nugent (I was a stage bouncer in front of the biggest stack of Marshall Amps I have ever seen and my hearing has never been the same) - His opening act was Pat Travers. John Conley Willie Nelson Bocephus (George Jones was supposed to open for him but he was passed out...

I have to admit that my favorite Tom T. Hall song was not a Tom T. Hall song, but a Manfred Mann song: "Fox on the Run." In my opinion, Mr. Hall took a bad English rock song and elevated it to a really good country bluegrass song.

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it.

I am thankful that you enjoyed it! Sorry about the binding; not sure where or how that is done but it is a part of the Amazon Direct Publishing service. And I am sorry about the demise of Emmett. But that was a part of the story, and a part of Sean's development. Well, at least in my way of...

Glad you enjoyed it!

Amazon deposits directly into my checking account. Easy-peazy. I don't have to pay anything to have it on their site.

Thank you! Yeah, I guess I kind of got carried away with the characterization and the exposition there in the beginning. Hope it wasn't too awful to wade through. I am glad you are enjoying it!

I use Word to type it all up. Then the KDP program does its magic and formats it all as a book. It was easy!

Daddy had me hauling hay about as soon as I could lift a square bale onto the tailgate of the pickup. We'd haul in several hundred bales 25 or 30 at a time and load them into an old-fashioned barn hayloft. He used to stand on top of the hay in the pickup and pitch the bales into the loft and I...

Money?? Ha! Oh, no, not at all. I have made enough money to take SweetPea out to a nice dinner a few times, but that is all. I am not very adept at advertising, and I am afraid that my book has a limited audience. Most mystery-thriller books these days have a lot of violence, sex, and/or violent...
