Let's see....I'm old, got gray hair, gray beard, play guitar pretty well, don't look so good in bright light, love to bother Cher in the morning 'til she finally gives in, love Lucy (cat), hate Lucy, love the Mulherin Home, love Mobile, AL, not much love lost between me and the beach, got a '94 S-10 that just won't die (must be related to Lucy), like to buy guitars that no one else would even consider, love to travel though it has begun to wear my old ass out, love to jam with whoever happens to be playing when we go out, love to drink so much I can't play when we go out, Can't seem to find that million bucks I stashed a couple of years ago, wish someone would sneak in and put all our lp's and tapes on cd so I won't have to finish doing it, I hope to live another 50 years so I can follow Cher around and play with her butt 'til she turns around and calls me "Paul!" Of course, that will call for you sticking around, too, Miss Thang. I just finished a twelve year stint with THE BEAT DADDYS, and have to say those years were some of the best in my career. Had hard times, of course, but the great times cancelled all that out. The road work and the cost of road work (gas, love, health, etc.) was beginning to wear me out, so had to give notice and pack it in. THE BEAT DADDYS are still hard at it though, and the new lineup is killer!! Tommy Stillwell has rejoined the band on lead guitar after a dozen years on his own, and is one of the finest players in the business. Larry is, of course, still up front with his huge voice and the 6'5" body he carries it in. Please go to THE BEAT DADDYS website at www.beatdaddys.com, or check out their myspace site. Lots of music, videos, and pics. And don't forget to BUY THE CD'S!!! Before joining forces with the BD's, I played with, in latest to earliest order....BILLY GIBSON, Memphis, TN....DIRTY WORK, Mobile, AL....DIVING DUCKS, Pensacola, FL....LITTLE MILTON, Chicago, IL....JACKSON HIGHWAY, Nashville, TN....GARY BUCK, Nashville, TN (w/ Jackson Highway)....JACKSON HIGHWAY, Muscle Shoals, AL (Yep, the same one!!) .. Before Jackson Highway, I came to Mobile, AL from Memphis with a horn band, AMERICA. (Not THAT America!)Came to play 2 weeks, but met my wife, Cheryl, and stayed when the guys went back to Tennessee. Still married to the same beautiful woman I met over 35 years ago. How is it she's older than I am, but I look 10 years older than she does? Must have been the road work and all the 3a.m. Seven Eleven burritos. These days, I'm playing with Cathy Pace and Donna Slater (www.myspace.com/donnaslatermusic) in "JEZEBEL'S CHILL'N" (www.myspace.com/jezebelschilln). The lineup includes Larry "Strick-9" Strickland, too, from time to time. All 3 are famous/infamous alumni of the Flora Bama School of Hard Knocks and Competitive Drinking. I also work at the Mulherin Home here in Mobile. Have been there for about 12 years, on and off. The Mulherin Home is a custodial home for physically and mentally challenged people aging from the teens to well into their sixties. Great staff, great clients, and I thank them for putting up with a musician who learns as he goes! That's about it. Any questions? There will be a test on Friday...
