The Bearded Man, doing some research in preparation for his cross country trip, ventured into farm country, which is far from his reality. He landed in Ohio spent the day there hanging with Mr.Tweed & Velvet Kenyatta drove across Elizaville Kentucky to a warm welcome from the Thomas’s on over 500 acres of farm land . There he spent a few days of touring the farm (s) and loving the country air. He then drove to Paris Kentucky with the Bagavagabonds, spent a few nights in Lexington and off to the Derby in Louisville for a day of horse racing. Much thanks to the entire team of Bagavagabonds who welcomed him. He had nothing but wild stories about his country experience and how the young country boy in him who spent his summers in Pensicola Florida came out of him on the open farmland of the Thomas family.

Stay tuned for more info on The Bearded Man cross country journey in search of “American Style”. His plans are to recruit local guides in all the states he and the team visits. He wants the genuine experience of each stop and what better way to get that then from a local.
