Music has always been an important part of my life. The first song I remember hearing on the radio was You ain't nuttin but a hound dog by Elvis. I have had various musical mood swings throughout the years. I seem to prefer outlaw music old country and western with songs by Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, my cousin Merle Haggard, and my twin brother Waylon Jennings. I have gotten lucky on past occasions letting the ladies think that I was Hank Williams Jr- right up until the band asked me to sing a few bars. A reporter friend of mine has interviewed Waylon Jennings many times over the years and she said that I could pass as a twin brother. What do you think?

Ok -Which one is Uncle George and Which one is Waylon

Several fiends have informed us that they like the music on our WebPages. If you love the music email me. Several people have also informed us that they hate the music. If you hate the music email me. So I guess it is a love/hate relationship. A few friends have complained that their boss overheard the music when they are reading our schedule and accused them of killing time on the Internet during work hours. My tip to all of you who fear complaints or who hate the music. Turn off the speakers or turn down the volume. The problem that bothers me most about the music is that with slow internet connections or company computer filters, may eliminate our pages or slow down the pages enough that you cant read them. If this happens to you please email me.

I started putting music on WebPages as a hobby back in 98. In fact I started writing WebPages in 98 while I was on disability leave from the Louisiana DEQ after a severe fall while building a barbed wire fence to keep the cows out of one of my air quality monitoring sites in a pasture along side the Mississippi river south of Baton Rouge. It was raining when I was toting several wooden fence posts on my shoulder and slipped on a wooden walkway across a flooded ditch. I landed on my rear end on the walkway. I suffered a bulging disc around my sciatic nerve and the pain and numbness shot from the vertebrate, across my left hip, and up and down my left leg. The pain was so severe that I could not stand up, walk, sit down, or lay down. I could sleep about an hour at a time with that aid of pain pills. I missed a month of work and the state wanted to force me to take permanent disability. I refused and fought it. Most of you know that I am a work-a-holic.

I refused to have back surgery because of all the bad things that I had heard. I gave VAX-D a try and to my amazement it worked. After a few weeks of treatment I could stand up, walk, sit down, and lay down without any pain pills. I am not pain free. It still hurts all of the time, especially when I sit down or drive for long periods of time. But the pain is manageable and I can live with it. After a few months I was back at work, driving on long trips, lifting fence posts, installing air conditioners, performing other maintenance tasks, and conducting smoke school.

Back in 98, after the fall, I managed to crawl to my computer either in the bedroom or outside under the mimosa tree shade. At first I did not even know how to turn on a computer by myself. You might say that I am self taught. I learned how to write web pages and it remains one of my favorite hobbies. In fact, I even wrote a novel.

I love to hunt. One of these fine days I am gonna get me a thurdy point buck.

I was raised on Harry Carey calling the St Louis Cardinals games

Harry Cary Singing Take me out to the ball game for the Chicago Cubs

Other sounds of Harry Carey

I listened to Harry on the radio at night, but during the day I watched Dizzy Dean broadcast the New York Yankees. Dizzy samg this song during the dull parts of the game. The Wabash Cannonball.

When I was a kid back in the early 1950's, I had a record player that played 45 RPM records. I remember one song, one of my first songs that I played over and over. I found it on an MP3 and I would love to share it with you. The name of the song was Stranded in the Jungle, but I remember it as Meanwhile Back in the Jungle.

I personally like both kinds of music- country and western. Angie and I heard this singer in CNN April 15, 2009 and like the announcers we were amazed and could not believe our ears. Susan Boyle had participated and won Britain's Got Talent 2009 Show 1. Susan Boyle has probably the strongest most beautiful voice ever heard. It is amazing at age 47 that she had not been discovered. She was a church singer. You simply must click here to listen.
