Fat Possum Day 4 - T-Model Ford

And we move on to T-Model Ford. If everything you read is to be believed, the man who was born James Lewis Carter Ford is one hard motherfucker. Let the man tell it himself (from his myspace page):
During the time he spent driving and working in a log camp, T-Model ran into trouble, and was eventually sentenced to ten years on a chain-gang for murder. He lucked out and was released after serving two. He says, grinning, "I could really stomp some ass back then, stomp it good. I was a-sure-enough dangerous man." When asked how many times he'd been to jail, T-Model responded, "I don't know. How many?" He seemed to think it might be a trick question. Upon realizing it wasn't, he answered to the best of his ability. "Every Saturday night there for awhile."
Even more so than some of his peers, T-Model Ford's songs are very simple, and typically dont venture beyond a three chord pattern. However, he throws so much vigor into his songs, that the energy and grit really shines through. Here are some tunes from T-Model and his right hand man, his drumer Spam. It should also be noted that the first song down below served as the theme song for one of the radio shows I did at WSPN about 4 or 5 years ago (One Foot In The Grave - for those keeping track at home).

Just questioning if eBay enables you to market [url=http://www.ticketchoice.com.au]concert tickets[/url] on the internet? Do you know if you will find any restrictions based on what country you're in?

My parents have just known as me and asked if i could "get rid" of their two tickets to a concert as they wont be able to make it because of another family event.

Apart from asking buddies etc, i thought ebay would be an excellent location to market them.

But whats ebay's policy on offering tickets? Ive heard alot about it about the news but ive forgotten what happened.

and if it matters, the concert is within this coming month

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Fantastic blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
I'm hoping to start my own blog soon but I'm a little lost on everything.

Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress or
go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Thanks!
