Paw Paw’s Song is the life and legacy of a man who started life as a sharecropper in the depression in 1920’s Alabama. An eighth-grade dropout, who became a Principal and Pastor with a Master’s degree, while raising a young family. His Godly influence and hard work lifted his family out of poverty. The legacy a Godly man can leave is far greater than just the sum of his years spent on earth.
