welcome from the SE corner of Washington state.
 
Just a wild guess ..would you be a carpenter.

I am wondering if he knows "Willie McCoy" They call him "Slim" back in South Alabama.

"Well outta south Alabama come a country boy
He said, "I'm lookin' for a man named Jim
I am a pool-shootin' boy, my name's Willie McCoy
But down at home they call me Slim"

Welcome from another Alabamian! I sometimes drive by Bryant Denny stadium, quite a ways from you. It's been a lot of years since I've been down in your part of the state. Pull up a chair and stay a while!
 
He did?
He has to share it with us!
oh... ;)
 
Welcome from Alaska! I spent a couple wonderful years in UCLA (upper corner of lower Alabama) at Fort Rucker in the 1990s. Loved it there and our family had a blast enjoying all the outdoor activities.

Hey Jim,

Although I do a lot of carpentry for myself, and there are multi generations of carpenters in my family, I chose the name "Clawhammer" for my favorite style of banjo playing.

Hey Peanut. Love the avatar, by the way. Thanks for the welcome, and drop on by if you're ever down this way. We have the best boiled peanuts in the world down here in October!

Pretty good, Sourdough! Willie McCoy was my third cousin, twice removed, on my Aunt Clara's side of the family. :ghostly:

I posted photo's of this one over the holidays... Played it for a bit during a family gathering, sad story attached to it though. An aunt keeps it on display in her livingroom like it was a lawn ornament. It's her's, she can do what she wants with it.
