The main thing is not get excited.

About Me

I..m just a good ole country boy. Honest, straight forward and fun lovin... I..m real down to earth and easy going. I..m a pretty practical person. I like to play old-time music. I..m very independant (some say too independant) and know my own mind. I..m fiercely loyal to my friends and family, if you want to rile me up, just say something bad about some of them. Simple stuff is the best stuff in life. I like to hang out with my friends and have a good time with them. I like people that are kind of hateful, they are usually the most honest and you always know where you stand with them.

My Interests

Old-Time Music, pickin.. and collecting, banjos, dobros and other lap style guitars, greasy skillets, being with friends, Tennessee mountain red fox chases, old time stuff, mountain dew, family history, eeeephin..
