Retired farmer. Main musical passion is writing. Main passions: my grandkids and the outdoors. I love the Lord and work Him into my songs pretty often, but not always. I fingerpick most songs, strum some with thumb or claw hammer style. Would really like to get with 1 to 4 other folks (could not care less what race, age, or gender) and play at any type venue where crowd is there to listen. I've written quite a few songs and have a gazillion unfinished ones lying around. Recently released my first CD, “RAIN AND BOWS” by Jocko and friends. Please listen on Spotify, YouTube, Apple music, few more. You may decide you’d rather listen to fingernails on chalkboards. Working on releasing a second one autumn, 2021. Got a late start after retiring, but I write every day and mainly play my own music. I have only co-written a couple of times, but really enjoy it. I recently moved to Oxford, Ms from northwest Tn. Wanna meet easy-going musicians and vocalists, have fun, and see what happens. I would love to find some folks that enjoy playing original, folky, bluegrassy, Americana music, start out practicing, playing locally, and see what happens. No drama, jealousy, or serious problems that sometimes seem to plague musicians. I wanna have fun, and hopefully find a cult following for a little different sound than what is being played on radio. Please hurry before arthritis and acid reflux destroy what's left of these crooked old fingers and disintegrating voice. Thanks for reading and any interest. God bless.
