   What started off as a boring day was suddenly transformed into an experience of a lifetime when into Kyle's life hitch-hiked a real live country song! His fishing trip gone south because his deputy sheriff father had to respond to trouble at the local jail, Kyle decides to pick up some extra hours at Clancy's roadside market where he works as a delivery boy. About mid-day a hitch hiking, guitar totin' cowboy coming from Houston Texas stops by to rest and grab a bite to eat.
   Told in the first person by Kyle, his curiosity and questions instigates an impromptu concert of old country songs and tales that lead him to believe that this ordinary looking cowboy might not be so ordinary after all.

   Mike Johnson is Country Music's No. 1 Black Yodeler and this tale revolves around country music songs and some of his own music experiences. This 2012 eBook edition also contains the 2008 paperback edition's 14-page Bonus Section featuring the song lyrics that inspired the story, some insight on Mike's music career, and photographs of Mike with Bart Plantenga, author of "Yodel-Ay-Eee-Ooo the Secret History of Yodeling Around the World" and photographs of Mike with some of the famous yodelers he has met.
