Morgan
Murray was raised by wolves in the backwoods of West Central Alberta. One day
while scavenging through a garbage dump for building supplies he came
across an old record player and a dozen Hank Williams and Patsy Cline LPs.
After unsuccessful attempts to become a cowboy, a rancher, and/or a farmer he
was sent by his wolf parents to a reform school in the Southern Alberta
foothills where he discovered George Straight and George Jones. He since has
escaped and rode a boxcar carrying toothbrushes to Montreal. Until he can sell
the movie rights to his remarkable life story he is enjoying unemployment and
all the joy that accompanies it, including sleeping in late and listening music
until it is early again. Learn all of his secrets from his blog
Caroline Area Man or
email him.
