Western campfire stories set to music; ghosts, gunfights, lost mines and hidden treasure. Also contemporary Americana, some Bluegrass and enough Country to stay alive in most roadhouses.
I do some blogging for
Hickory Wind, a neat Americana music resource for reviews, interviews, and commentary!
Oh yeah, the bio. Let's keep it brief. It all started when I fell off a mule.
That was at age six, and I haven't been right since. Still don't completely trust mules.
I've been a US Navy Gunner's Mate, barroom bouncer, car salesman, pipefitter, and once repaired the wiring in the stall of the Marlboro stallion in Oklahoma. I've slept under the Canadian River Bridge between Purcell and Norman, Oklahoma, where Pretty Boy Floyd once made the mistake of crossing with a blindfolded kidnap victim. Small world.
I currently live in Arizona, where I on rare occasions manage to record a few original songs for the amusement of a tiny group of steadfast friends.
Pipkins have been a part of the West for quite awhile, on both sides of the law. One cousin, Daniel "Red" Pipkin, was a train robber, part of a gang involved with nearly wiping out a posse trailing them in New Mexico in the 1890s. He served time in Yuma Territorial Prison, and his prison records are still on file there.
Another cousin, Virgil Adams Pipkins, rode with Teddy Roosevelt in the Rough Riders. He served in Troop M, which was the troop left behind to play poker, drink, and guard the horses while all of the other Rough Riders shipped off to Cuba and the charge up Kettle Hill. Virgil's name, along with all of the other Rough Riders, is on the Bucky O'Neil statue in Prescott Arizona's Courthouse Square.
My wife Alice and I are the prized possessions of two cats. Where the dog fits in we're not sure. The dog worries about it a lot.
