| Abstract | In this captivating narrative, Braddock demonstrates that he is as much at home writing the story of his life as crafting an awardwinning country tune. Warm, candid, intimate, and laughoutloud funny, this book - the title plays on the Southern pronunciation of Braddock's hometown of Auburndale, Florida - recounts his colorful saga up to age twentyfour, when he decides to move to Nashville and pursue a career as a professional songwriter. |
