Arnie is a true American original and I count it one of my great blessings to have met him when I first moved to Nashville as a “hungry songwriter.” Not only were there times when “Arn” literally showed up at my apartment door with a bag of groceries, but there were many other times when he nourished my soul with one inspiring, funny and heartwarming story after another. As I read the stories in this book, I caught myself bursting with laughter one second and trying to swallow a big lump in my throat the next.
This book captures the spirit of a man who lives with as much passion, gusto and love for life as anyone I’ve ever met. I’m proud to call “Arn” my friend and I hope this book is the beginning of many more.
