“Outside the Southern Border
Along a thoroughfare
Footprints by the highway
Vanished into air

“The man without a shadow
Slipped by in the night
Fate had turned the tables
Until the morning light”

Bayou Texan: A Memoir of Known Fa incts
The life and times of a Greenhorn told in story and song

It’s hard to find a starting point when it comes to how I ran across John Murrell.  John Andrews Murrell – 1830 to 1844.  The Great Western Land Pirate who once led a Mystic Clan with designs to take over the Deep South.    

Known back then as ‘Reverend Devil,’ there are those today who claim he still haunts the Old Natchez Trace, ‘The Notchy.’  That’s where I come in.  Bayou Texan – 1950 to present time.  Memoir of a Rockin’ Wannabe by ‘Notchy Run’ lost in Music City with designs to Rock-and-Roll.
