The Balladeer

It all started in the sleepy town of Buford, GA, back in 1951. It was October, but the warmth of the summer sun was lingering for the birth of Mrs. Jones’ darling baby boy. After the birthing process Mom and Dad took me to our lovely home in Doraville, GA, where I grew up….kinda. I was highly influenced by great artists like George Jones, Merle Haggard, Randy Travis, Gene Watson, and many more. I picked up the guitar when I was about 14, and with a little help from a few friends learned some basic chords… Through the years, I did a lot of things, morning drive radio, ran a shoe store, meter reader for the gas company, I even worked as a private detective. Like most country singers, I’ve been lied to, let down, drink too much and, yes, I’ve seen the inside of a jail cell. In 2013, I returned to my love of traditional country music, and writing. Having a blast and hope you enjoy some of it. Thanks for your support,
