Just a little about me...


I was raised in Northern Arizona in a
little town called Dewey. Calling it a Town
is accurate today but when I lived there
all it consisted of was a Post Office and
a Gas Station. I'm number 11 of 12 kids,
7 girls and 5 boys all from one Mom and
one Dad.

My Dad was an Old Time Fiddler and also
played the guitar and sang. On Fridays when he
would come home from being away at work all
week he would sit and play requests from us
kids. Some of the favorites were Blood On The
Saddle, Little Joe The Wrangler and my favorite
The Little Mohee. My Mama would play rhythm on
the guitar until he took off on Foggy Mountain
Breakdown or some other fast song, she'd try
but just couldn't keep up.

It was my Mama that taught me my first
three chords on the guitar, a few of my sisters
taught me the other two. We didn't have
electricity so after the sun went down there
wasn't much else to do but sit and play music.
In my teens I wandered into the world of Rock
& Roll and still crank some Skynyrd or
Zeppelin from time to time but I found my
country raising had affected me for life and I
started writing country songs when I was about
18.

I think a lot of people want to hear new
country music that still sounds like country, I
hope you enjoy it.
