This is a "hoot and a holler" type of book. I re-read this one on occasion, smiling in recognition of many of the guys I knew growing up, and laughing right along!Dr. Cannon did a wonderful job with this book of explaining just what a good old boy is and why good old boys and rednecks are NOT the same! Reading this book, there were times I began to wonder if I didn't have a bit of Gobbie spirit in myself (and no, I'll never be a Gobbie exactly; I don't have all the requisite tools).In a side note, my copy is signed by Dr. Cannon and two of the people mentioned in the book, Cecil Hitchcock and "Lousiana Fats" - I go to church with Cecil). That makes it even more special to me!Hopefully, this book will get back into print VERY soon -- the world should read this one!
Great fun and very accurate!

The style made this a lively and fun book to read. Unfortunately, I loaned it to a good ol' boy to read and never got it back. I need another one badly, if anyone out there has one.
