Primarily acoustic music in a folk, blues, light rock or country flavor. Guitar, banjo, mandolin, percussion
Hog Time Music is the creative outlet of Ralph Goff. I write most of the songs and record them in my home based studio, Hog Time Studio. I'm backed up on many songs by my long time musical partner and friend, John Jett, playing banjo and resonator guitar. John is also the artist of the Hog Time Music drawing. I primarily play acoustic guitar (1969 Martin D18, Taylor 812C and 1963 Gibson Southern Jumbo), and add some fills with mandolin on some songs. In addition, most vocal work is by me. Computer generated drum and bass is also used on some songs.

Story behind the song
This is a song that has been "on the shelf" for over 10 years. I heard a good country backing track and it made me remember this song. Credits: Lyrics & Vocal: Ralph Goff Band: The Hog Time Pickers
