Story

My Dad was an old time country and bluegrass musician. He taught me guitar. I learned harmonica from Doodle Thrower of the Golden River Grass. I spent most of my younger adult life at festivals. I also play country with friends and did a lot of gigs at a place in Tucker Ga called The Alibi. I have played with the same people for 30 and some 50 years.some have died, but we still do it to it. It is a large musical family.....The Can't Hardly Playboy's. And Wild Card, and lots of friends and family.??
