"And this too, shall pass." My grandfather used to quote this Biblical phrase to teach me that all things, good and bad, come to an end. My days at the helm of Southern Fried Magazine are over...

In the meantime, I wanted to give some props to some of my friends made during my editorial reign:

http://www.bonniescreations.com/ Bonnie Utterback is the wife of WORLD FAMOUS GUITARIST Kenny Utterback (Pacific Gas & Electric, with its Jesus Rock era hit, Are You Ready?). Her site has all kinds of glorious products for you and your house. See the pics above.

Speaking of WORLD FAMOUS, you can't leave out drummer Gary Allen (original drummer - CDB, J.J. Cale). He is currently seeking a recording/touring band...if this sounds like your crew, contact him at Gary@tennesseeconcerts.com. You can read further and see even more pics at http://www.tennesseeconcerts.com/.

Another person who needs to be thanked for posterity is Dr. Clinton Bellamy -- the Renaissance man of eastern Tennessee. Physician, lawyer and natural food producer, Dr. Bellamy does it all...beautifully. Check out his handmade hot sauces, natural fruit butters and all kinds of goodies at http://www.datilsupreme.com/ I met him at the Grainger County (Tennessee) Tomato Fest...he and his family are Good People!

I have a new home for my articles and adventures -- you can read about it here when it's time for my official debut! As my friends The Ozark Mt. Daredevils say, "It'll Shine When It Shines".
