   About Monte Dutton
I wrote True to the Roots: Americana Music Revealed (University of Nebraska Press) and, while doing so, taught myself how to play basic guitar and learned enough to write some simple songs. I'm a journalist who writes about NASCAR and has written and/or edited and/or contributed to a number of books. I live in Clinton, SC, and graduated from Furman University. My guitars include a Pawless, a Martin, a Lazy River (recently enhanced by my friend Vince Pawless), a Baby Taylor, a Washburn Rover, an old Fender Telecaster I found in a pawn shop and a surprise favorite, a cheap black guitar I bought for $30 at a truck stop. I've got a mandolin, too. And some harmonicas. Recently I won the George Cunningham Award as writer of year in the National Motorsports Press Association. I play concerts, just me and my guitar behind a mike, lonely and alone, mostly near NASCAR tracks. I did, however, open for Bruce Robison at Charlotte's Puckett Farm Equipment in November 2008. At gigs, I raised $562 for the Victory Junction Gang Camp for sick children in 2008. I've played minor-league baseball games, restaurants and bars. I've been known to show up at open mics to play new songs for the first time in front of an audience. Usually I have T-shirts and books (that I've written) for sale at gigs. I'm still hoping to produce a CD of original songs.

You're ALIVE!!!!  Man, my heart dropped to my knees today... I was in line at the bank this morning and saw a buddy who I loaned your book to a while back... he told me he had heard you died!  He said a guy on one of the NASCAR radio shows he listened to died and he thought it was you, and he really needed to get the book back to me ASAP!  I rushed home and see you're alive and kickin'!!  Hope all is well, hope you have a Merry Christmas... maybe we can get together in 2010 for that cold beer and some tunes!!

hey monte...  how are ya???  i was just sitting here going through some old blogs i had written...  i read a comment you had left on one of them...  and i thought, hmmm...  wonder how life is treating him????  so, what better to do than ask???  life is hard...  i go through periods where i feel i couldn't be any happier & i feel as though i have found the peace i've always longed for...  then next thing i know, i'm right back in the ugliest of all places...  self doubt, no hope, you name it...  i know i won't stay here...  things will get better, they always have...  but still, when you keep ending up here...  it's pure misery because you don't know how long it's gonna be before you get your next chance to TRY AGAIN...
