If anyone should write a book it should be Willie Kell. From bathing in the creek with the frogs back on "grandmaw's farm" as a child, growing up to sell home-cooked medicine, then becoming a famous horse race caller at the tracks, on radio and TV, Willie has done it all. In fact when his children taught him to play guitar, he became a Nashville songwriter and recording artist. Willie's life is packed with adventure, and he tells it all in this book.
WILLIE was the fifth child of an artistic God fearing mother and a handsome horse-trading father, who later became a medicine man. WILLIE's mother died when he was six; when his daddy found a new young love, WILLIE went to live on "grandmaw's farm" until "Maw" died when he was ten. WILLIE tells of those childhood years on the farm, reliving the time he stumbled onto the nude lovers back at the creek, the sexy hired girl he sometimes had to sleep with and the big car-theft ring-leader that hid upstairs until the police came and took him away. He tells how at just 14, he left home for good, working as a bellhop then desk clerk in a family owned hotel, where he learned about girls, homosexuals, drunks and drug addicts.
After a stint in the army he married his sweetheart, Irene, and soon followed his father's rambling ways, selling that "stove-cooked wonder medicine" and buggy horses to the Amish folks. He recalls the $200.00 "Cinderella" horse he and Irene bought and trained to win a big race!
In his time WILLIE has met and talked with Prime Ministers, governors, and became acquainted with some of Hollywood's biggest movie stars and some of the world's great musicians, writers and entertainers. He remembers so well, Sir Alec Guiness, Sir Tyrone Guthrie, the great director, then there was Irene Worth and several more. WILLIE has hung out with hobos, drifters and "rounders" and even talked with the "HANGMAN", when he was on his way to hang a young man for murder!
WILLIE worked with his three children and watched them become big in music as songwriters and recording artists. Then he followed in their footsteps to become a NASHVILLE published songwriter and recording artist himself.
An absolutely true and incredible story of one man's life, WILLIE makes readers laugh, cry and wonder how he did it all and live to tell about it.

The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
