About the Author
Upon returning to his hometown in 1970, Richard (no longer a Mouse) Hudson resumed his musical career while attending the University of Kentucky. He soon renewed an acquaintance with Shirley, a friend and fellow musician he knew before he went to Vietnam. They married in 1972. After living out of state for several years, the Hudsons moved back to Kentucky to be near their families. They still reside in Lexington where they run their own businesses and play bluegrass music with friends. Richard's sense of right and wrong, his ability to relate and identify with people in all walks of life and his general zest for life, he attributes to his brief military service in Vietnam.
