He was every 90s Southern Illinois archetype - half hero, half hangover. The life of the party in a world built on loud cards, louder music and big bar tabs. Lived hard, laughed harder, and hit the wall before he saw it coming. A song about charm that burned out and good times that outstayed their welcome.

The Not So Laughing Cavalier

Southern Illinois floodplain writer telling country / alt-country stories about small towns, solved murders, hard marriages, harder economies, ancestors, quiet boys, healing men, broken homes, and the ghosts of working people. Stories carved out on Tele tones, Epiphone wood, and whatever tools get the truth down fast.
