"Jim Ford" was an United States/American singer-songwriter originally from Johnson County, Kentucky. After living in New Orleans, LA/New Orleans, Ford moved to Los Angeles, CA/Los Angeles, and finally settled in Fort Bragg (North Carolina)/Fort Bragg, CA. His music is a mixture of Soul music/soul, Country music/country and Folk music/folk. His songs have been recorded by numerous artists, including Aretha Franklin, P.J. Proby, Bobby Womack, and The Temptations. The UK singer Sylvia McNeill recorded "Ugly Man" in 1970, the only known version as Ford's could not be found in his archives. Nick Lowe has cited Jim Ford as his biggest musical influence.

His most famous song is probably "Harry Hippie", a song recorded and released by Womack in 1973.

After beating a cocaine addiction in 2004, Ford found Jesus and started recording again. He was a recluse at that time, but L-P Anderson of Sweden's Sonic Magazine managed to track him down in his California trailer home in April 2006.

It's about getting out there and selling it. I've been trying to go to all the parents' meetings.

There are a lot of factors for injuries. The evolution of the size and speed of players, the amount of training, the types of field can all be factors. The No. 1 think we're looking for is whether there are any red flags?

I've set goals, including for fundraising, but also to support with our spirit, being the 12th member of the team.

We told everyone when we had to cancel the remaining few races last year that we'd be back bigger and better in 2006, and this schedule lives up to that promise. Thanks to the efforts and support of our sponsors and teams, we have a family-friendly, entertaining, exciting season planned.

Randy (the Ford's other son) is still healing from his accident earlier this year (he was struck by a sprint car in July, suffering a broken leg). With Doug's condition, racing just isn't that important right now. We appreciate the prayers and encouragement we have received from the racing community, but our family needs to be together right now. I hope everyone understands.
