Welcome to the Front Porch

Songs, stories, faith, and a little front porch wisdom from Tennessee. I've spent a lifetime collecting stories—some became songs, some became books, and some simply became lessons worth passing along.

About

A LIFETIME OF SONGS AND STORIES

Back Roads and Front Porch

I've been writing songs and telling stories for more than fifty years, but most of what I write comes from simply living—family, faith, work, recovery, back roads, old friends, and the Tennessee hills I call home. Along the way I've learned that almost everybody has a story, and sometimes all it needs is a front porch and somebody willing to listen.
