I grew up in the mountains of North Carolina and hail from a long line of pillars of the community........Hatfields, harlots and a preacher or two. I had a great aunt that boarded up the windows of a house and set it on fire with her husband in it and a grandmother that shot her husband, so needless to say, I approach love with caution.
There were the obligatory bootleggers in Dark Corner South Carolina and my Great grandpa B.T. Wright was a trainman in Eastern Kentucky, he also worked in the coal mines.
....Bluegrass music makes me homesick and books make me want to never go back.
I did a stint for a major label in the 90's, rode on a big bus and then learned how to tour the country solo in a truck following someone else's big bus.
Songwriting forces me to try and connect to the world...most of the time it has the opposite effect and I swear that I'll never get out of my own head.
I have a propensity to dumpster dive.
Love hobos, knives, the 1930's, you, humility,free thinkers, strong coffee,old books and anything arcane or esoteric. I also find prime numbers EXTREMELY compelling.
Just checked and my pulse is a bit eratic (not sure I spelled that right) but still there. Also checked the Obits and I wasn't there either. Guess I am good for now.
How goes the tour? I read your blogs and it sounds like you are visiting some intresting places. I wanted to come see you in Isle of Palms but didn't work out. You need to get to the Sunshine State. Hope all is well with you and that you are having a good time. I will write more later.
