Curt Iles Creekbank Stories's Interests
|
| General | As mentioned earlier, I love the outdoors and nature. Birds are a primary interest of mine with my favorites being wood ducks, whippoorwills, mockingbirds, and purple martins.
I’ve always enjoyed sports. I am a lifelong LSU Tiger fan as well as a fan of both Louisiana College and McNeese State.
I live and die with the Houston Astros which is a defining trait of my family.
| | Music | This is a good question. I have eclectic tastes. My iPod has a little bit of everything on it. However, the groups/singers I like best are pretty consistent over the years:
Van Morrison
The Band/Levon Helm (Drummer for The Band)
Lynyrd Skynyrd
The Marshall Tucker Band
Charlie Daniels
The Allman Brothers/Dickie Betts guitarist for Allmans/Chuck Leavell, Allman’s keyboardist)
Creedence Clearwater Revival/John Fogerty (Lead Singer)
Jackson Browne, Robin Mark
Bob Dylan
Right now I’m enjoying the new CD by Levon Helm, “Dirt Famer.”
I especially like the cut, “The Mountain.” It is a song about how a person can deeply love a place and feel deep sorrow to see it fade away.
My favorite songs are :
1. I will arise and go to Jesus
2. The Night They Drove Ol’ Dixie Down
3. The Weight
4. How Great Thou Art
5. Simple Man (Skynyrd version)
6. I have decided to follow Jesus
7. The Wayfaring Stranger
8. Simple Man (Charlie Daniels version)
| | Movies | I do love movies.
My favorites (not in a specific order)
Field of Dreams, Bridge over the River Kwai, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Being There, The Sting, The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, Saving Pvt. Ryan, Life is Beautiful, The Quiet Man, Dances with Wolves
| | Television | Honestly, I don’t watch much TV. I’d rather read, visit, or be outside. | | Books | I am an avid reader with a wide taste.
Civil War History by Shelby Foote- I’ve read and re-read his three volume set.
John Grisham- my favorites are Time to Kill and Runaway Jury.
Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry.
The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell
Leadership is an Art
| | Heroes | Most of my heroes are people I’ve known personally. That is the best part of growing up in a rural community.
My dad- Clayton Iles was, and is, my hero. He was just the man at home that others saw in public: a kind, fun, loving man.
Ed King and Matt Farmer- Two Dry Creek dairy farmers taught me with their lives about how Christian men behaved.
My sports heroes are varied: Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio, Archie Manning, Terry Bradshaw, Hank Aaron.
