Big Red's Interests
|
| General | I collect musical instruments. My collection includes a bass guitar given to me by Ira Dean, when he was with Trick Pony. I have a Gibson mandolin that belonged to my great uncle. Several guitars, two keyboards, and a Hammond Organ. And, there's the Fender banjo autographed by the Dixie Chicks, before the incident in London.
My sister got me into collecting antiques, and I have quite the assortment of old furniture. Being a music lover, I also have acquired 3 Victrola's, an Edison phonograph that plays cylinders, and a couple older tabletop radios from the early days of FM.
Outside the house, I enjoy fishing, going to concerts, traveling, exploring old cities like St. Augustine and Savannah, going to auctions, watching movies and football, and probably several things I haven't tried yet. | | Music | Country music is, and will always be, my first love. But I also enjoy southern rock, blues and classic soul music. For several years I lived near Fayetteville NC, and that area is a true melting pot of musical styles. If it's good music, I like it! | | Movies | Anything with Clint Eastwood, Kevin Spacey, Johnny Depp, Sandra Bullock, and Joe Pesci...Kate Beckinsale in Serendipity. "Crossroads", with Ralph Maccio and Joe Seneca. "Midnight In The Garden of Good And Evil", "Must Love Dogs" | | Television | I love Sunday nights on HBO! The new series "John Adams" is outstanding! Watch it! Pay close attention to the dialogue between Adams, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and the other founding fathers, and you will quickly realize just how lame today's politicians really are! HBO cancelled some of my favorite shows in the past year or so, including "Deadwood", "Carnivale" and "The Sopranos". I also love "Cash In The Attic" (British version) and "Antiques Road Show". NFL Football, since I am a Bucs fan. NBA Basketball...GO MAGIC! I also watch a lot of programs on NatGeo, Fox News Channel, and ESPN. | | Books | Trace Adkins new book is killer!
The "Left Behind" series. Any autobiography or biography about singers and actors. Antique guides. History of the old west.
To the other extreme, any book written by Tom Robbins! | | Heroes | I admire people who stand by their beliefs, regardless of how unpopular it makes them with the rest of the world. President Bush fits that description. Charlie Daniels does, too. Check out Charlie's Soapbox on his website, charliedaniels.com.
And, there's my long time friend, Don, who did three tours of duty in Vietnam. Don's health is rapidly failing, due in part to the things he was exposed to while serving our country in a war the politicans wouldn't allow us to win. We were together in my first band, and hunted and fished together. God be with you! |

MySpace Layouts - Nashville Tennessee myspace layouts
Thanks for checking out my page!
Most people know me from hosting the afternoon show on K Country. I hope after checking out this site, you'll know a little more about the person behind the radio show.
I have been divorced for several years. My ex wife and I are good friends, and I keep in close contact with my stepdaughter, who is now a mother of three.
I am a country music fan...I have played in bands in the past (bass guitar, lead vocals). During my musical career, I had the pleasure to open concerts for John Conlee, Gene Watson, Collin Raye, Ricky Skaggs, Sawyer Brown, Earl Thomas Conley, Trick Pony, John Anderson, Joe Diffie, Travis Tritt, and others. My band performed in the Orlando area at The Barn, Cheyenne Saloon, and Sullivans. In the late 80's, Johnny Rodriguez hired us as his band for all his concerts in Florida.
These days, when I am not working, I spend time with family, go to antique auctions (hello to David at Turkey Creek!) fish when I can, and play my guitars.
I have an 86 Bronco, and right after I got it, I started buying tools and turning wrenches on it. One of these days, it will be like new...and I'll have to take out a large bank loan to buy gas!
JUST ADDED; with a big thank you to Heather Young, there are pictures of Chris Cagle performing at Midnight Rodeo in my photo section!

Who I'd like to meet:
If I could go back in time, Thomas Jefferson. One of the greatest minds our country has ever produced! We could use someone of his intelligence and ethics today to put this country back in the right direction!
Merle Haggard, one of the greatest songwriters ever (I have a guitar I'm dying to have him sign!}
Linda Ronstadt, my first "love", when I was 12
Dinner with Sandra Bullock would be cool, too!
