If you are a Faron Young fan - you will want to check out the links to read more about my book: Live Fast, Love Hard: The Faron Young Story. Do you have questions about his discography? I can tell you if he recorded a certain song and on what album. Do you want to know what happened to the musicians in his band, the Country Deputies? A profile of Faron, along with several of my articles about him and his band, can be found in the “Faron Young” section.

I’m now writing the biography of Marty Robbins (1925-1982), another of my favorite singers. I’m looking for information, and I’d especially like to find people who knew him as Martin David Robinson, both at home in Phoenix and during World War II in the South Pacific. The title of the book will be Twentieth Century Drifter: The Life of Marty Robbins.

From the time I was a first grader, and won the prize for reading more books than anyone else in our one-room country school, I’ve loved reading. Check “Books I Like” to see if some of my favorites are your favorites, too.

As well as information on my two memoirs, Navy Greenshirt and A Farm in the Hidewood, this site contains a variety of articles about Navy life and some of the places I’ve visited around the world. I’ve included several speeches and eulogies, too.
