He has completed a songs as well, "Living In Okieville©", "Till The Pain Goes Away©"

“I love entertaining, singing, telling my stories, or just making folks laugh. To see the audience smile or laugh, and having a good time is what it's all about.”

He mixes some Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Tex Ritter, and some of my own stories in his full length show.
