A LITTLE NOSTALGIA....

The Goat Man Ches McCartney
YES.... the goat man....We had already moved from S.C. to Pennsylvania but we used to go back down to Honea Path S.C. every summer for a couple of weeks. What I remember was someone coming by and saying "the goat mans here" and we all jumped into cars and drove to the highway to see the "Goatman", and what a sight it was, a herd of goats, a wagon and I don't know how many people, would pull off the side of the road and camp there overnite, by morning they were gone. I never knew anything about him and only recently found out he was a self proclaimed preacher, but you can imagine what an impression he made on this (at the time) 10/12 year old naive little boy. A memory I'll never forget.....
