About Me

My name is Brandon. I play music (guitar, bass, mandolin, banjo, french harp, and the organ). I'm a Southern Baptist. I really like hymns, old gospel music, OLD country, OLD bluegrass (and traditional), and honky tonk music. I'm engaged to Kalli Isom. I like to spend most of my friday nights down at the Little Ryman. I REALLY like Stokers Apple and Stoker's Fred's Choice Chewing Tobacco. I've got three coonhounds - Rastus (Redbone), Argus (Black and Tan), and Pistol Pudd "PP" (Bluetick). Oh yeah, I'm one happenin' cat.

What Kind Of Coonhound Are You?


Redbone
You have a real good temperement. Your tolerent of others and a pleasure to be around. Your calm around the kennel, but aggressive in the woods. Your easily distracted, but when you put your mind to something, you stick with it.
