Larry Alderman loved to write wilderness stories in the 7th grade and his teacher read them to the class. Today he has books on Amazon. He is a story teller. He picked up a friends guitar and strummed on it, and it was love at first strum, when he was 12. Larry slept in his car by the river front in Nashville as a teen in 1971, and hung around the Grand ol Opry house during shows on weekends and was signed by the Opry stars, the WIlburn Brothers company. It lead to a 40 year career as a hit songwriter.
