    You must check out Paul Thorn (www.paulthorn.com) . . . a little bit Croce . . . a little bit Springsteen . . . ALL Paul Thorn. One of the most prolific singer/songwriter/story tellers to ever walk the planet with hooks to die for. He'll make you laugh and make you cry . . . either way you'll feel very good. From Tupelo, Mississippi . . . loosely based in Nashvile. But, he swears he's not "country"!!
