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!

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...

Thanks y'all. As far as writing and editing go, that was all on me. I self-edit as I write so my process is painfully slow. And there were a couple of mistakes found by careful readers and one journalism professional when it first came out, so I guess my editing leaves something to be desired...

Wow. Thank you for sharing that letter.

Ladies and gentlemen, please forgive a modicum of hucksterism on my part, but I wanted to let you know that I wrote a book. I am an avid reader, in all kinds of genres, and inevitably I have come across things that made me say to myself, "you know, I can write something better than that." So...

Mae's Meat Market is awesome! Can't believe I forgot about that ...

If you are on I-20 in Texas stop at the Red Star in Eastland, between DFW and Abilene. Good home cooking in a new, clean truckstop. A bit further east, in Strawn, a few miles off the interstate, is Mary's Cafe. Consistently mentioned as the best chicken-fried steak in Texas. I can truly say...

Hogs are getting after my pasture and my coastal patch. What do I do now? How do I get rid of these pests in the most effective manner possible without mortgaging my land to do it?
