Recollections and reflections in the life of a share cropper's son, beginning with my earliest memory at age 4 when I lived on a tenant farm in Johnston County, North Carolina with my brothers and sisters. Included are many tales about growing-up in and around Lizard Lick, North Carolina. There was never a dull moment in our part of the 'Wood Pile.' Please enjoy these true short stories of dirt farming, fast cars, first times, moonshine, love, loss and hillbilly music that spans nearly 70 years of my life from 1942 to 2010.
