i spent all 4 years on the benny boat when she was homeported at san diego.

i found out if you left downtown san diego there was lots of places to go and things todo

i was trying to write country music and found a second home in el cajon,spending lots of time with smokey rogers,an owner of valley music and the bostionia ball room.

  i was able to spend many weekends with him and his family

i will never forget how they treated me, a hillbilly from alabama away from home for the frist time

i was like one of his family
