I'm just a 56 year old cement mixer driver who gets laid off every winter for 3 months.I enjoy writing songs and recording them myself at home on my 8 track Boss BR864 recorder.It's just another one of my many hobbies.I just do it for kicks.Just laid back musical enjoyment. I have lots of originals and collabs on my page.My originals are are true stories about me,or people I know,or how I feel about things.Collabs are all efforts of me and my Soundclick friends.Doing collabs is my favorite thing here on Soundclick.Hope ya enjoy some of the tunes.

Story behind the song
True story about a old Indian guy dowm in Mt. View,Arkansas.My neighbor goes down there every year on his vacation and plays music with this guy.From the stories he told me about this guy,and the video tapes and cd's he brought back,I wrote this song.
