   NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH! :-)   
      
   I was born and raised in East Virginia early on a frosty morning. My Daddy was   
   a   
   miner, and I'm a miner's son. My Mama would rock me in the cradle, but I left   
   home when I was just nine days old. That's when I picked up a shovel and I   
   walked to the mine. The captain said, "I got me a steam drill round," so I told   
   my captain, "Your men a-gonna leave you" and I said farewell to Nova Scotia,   
   the   
   sea bound coast. Then I traveled all over this country, a-digging, prospecting   
   for gold. I found rocks and gravel make a mighty fine road, so with a ten   
   dollar   
   horse and a twenty dollar saddle they sent me to New Bedford, that famous   
   whaling port. But I caught me the end of a long freight train and fanned my   
   tail   
   to the Oregon line. I was walking down the track with tears in my eyes, trying   
   to read a letter from my home, when along comes the sheriff from Cornersville   
   saying, "Pay me or go to jail." Well, I ran so fast the hounds couldn't catch   
   me, down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. So if you ever see me coming   
   back, I'll extend to you my paw, but it's gonna be through a telescope from the   
   great Atlantic Ocean to the wide Pacific shore.   
      
   Now if you detect even the remotest grain of truth buried beneath all that   
   woofing and whooping, why not come find out for yourself? I'll be appearing at   
   the Peoples' Voice Cafe in New York City on May 3 of this year. Also on the   
   bill   
   will be my good buddy Joel Landy, a talented singer-songwriter and parodist,   
   and   
   host of the "Songs of Freedom" cable TV program. Joel and I will each do a 25   
   minute set. Then after we take a short break, we'll come back and do the   
   remainder of the evening round robin style, alternating songs until they kick   
   us   
   out.   
      
   Here are the details:
