I HAVE RECENTLY JUST WRITTEN TWO BOOKS AND HAD THEM PUBLISHED. THE FIRST ONE IS CALLED "TTHE LONG TRAIL WEST" AND THE SECOND IS CALLED "THE CASES OF THE FAMOUS DETECTIVE ROBERT LONGFELLOW (IN ADDITION TO HIS HUMOROUS ESCAPADES)."

D MY AMP. INTO A 220 OUTLET INSTEAD OF 110 OUTLET AND BLEW MY AMP SO I HAD TO SING WITH OUT MY AMP.

I WALKED OVER A MACHING THAT RECORDED RECORDS AND I SANG HOUND-DOG AND WHEN I WAS THROUGH I WAS SURROUNDED BY GIRLS WANTING MY RECORD SO I LET THEM FIGHT OVER. THAT FELT GOOD. IT WAS ALL NEW TO ME AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK OF IT.
I DROVE A TRUCK FOR MANY YEARS AND REALLY ENJOYED CAUSE YOU MEET A LOT OF PEOPLE AND I LIKE PEOPLE. I FINALLY ME THE LOVE OF MY LIFE AND HER NAME IS DOLLIE. ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO ADD IS MY MOTHER WAS A FAMOUS ASTROLGER NATION WIDE. SHE DID REAGAN, MOVIE STARS AND MANY IMPORTANT STARS.
I'M NOW ON THIRD BOOK WHICH IS THE CONTINUING STORY OF "THE LONG TRAIL WEST."
