This book is based not only on my professional music career, but it encompasses some very personal aspects of my journey and roller coaster ride through the difficulties endured in my personal and professional life. My fans and closest friends will be surprised by my story. Including most of my family, who will have known nothing about that part of my life. One of the objectives of this book and life story is to offer some hope, insight, and encouragement for others experiencing similar situations. And if one person becomes a follower of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ from reading my story, that will be a bonus. We lived off the land, where we grew a large vegetable garden each year, had the luxuries of an outhouse for a toilet, and the necessary livestock and access to essential commodities for some of our needs, like egg-laying hens, pigs, dogs, oil lamps, a root cellar, woodstoves, great speckled trout fishing, bicycles, sixshooters and comic books. Most doors had locks but seldom were used, only if one was leaving home for an extended period. You could leave whatever you wished to leave outside, nobody touched it because the neighbours always kept an eye on one another's properties. What a life, what a way to live. Wow! What a life, what a way to live, it was spectacular!
