A man with three different names ties together the stars of professional wrestling, country music, and the New York Mets. John Arezzi was a lifelong Mets fan who dreamed of a job in baseball. In 1981, he took a job with the Mets Class A team in North Carolina. But Arezzi had another love: professional wrestling. He ran a fan club for the villainous “Classy” Freddie Blassie as a teenager, then progressed to wrestling photographer, and finally even stepped into the ring himself as John Anthony. Eventually he escaped to pursue a new life in altogether different world: country music. After adopting a new name, John Alexander, his many accomplishments include discovering both Patty Loveless and (decades later) Kelsea Ballerini. But wrestling is tough to shake … In the 1990s, Arezzi hosted the pioneering radio talk show Pro Wrestling Spotlight. He also ran the first major conventions, assembling a wrestling who’s who to meet with fans. He promoted shows, both at home and abroad, and was a key figure behind importing lucha libre into America. Mat Memories is Arezzi’s chance to hold the mic, and he holds nothing back — he names names and tells the untold behind-the-scenes stories: from the ring, the stage, and the diamond.

When I was a kid, I grew up in a community called Spillcorn, a small community in Marshall, North Carolina. Most people who lived there were poor Appalachian people, and a majority of them were farmers. Most of the food we ate was raised, planted, or gathered on my grandparents' farm. My family lived in a small three-room house that had a kitchen, living room, and a bedroom. My grandmother lived not far away from us on a 55-acre farm where she raised livestock. She also had gardens, fruit trees, and honeybees. These recipes that I have gathered together are made up of things that we raised on that farm. They are some of my favorite recipes. I hope they bring you as much enjoyment as they did my family. This recipe book is dedicated to two very strong women who were a great inspiration to me as I was growing up. They are my Grandmother Stella Gosnell Norton and Anna Mae Norton Robinson. Two women that I love and miss very much.

Imagine breaking the law without fear. Imagine piles of money that literally grew on trees. Those dreams became reality for David Mac after the young man from Michigan settled in Madison County, Arkansas. This is his tale about life as a marijuana moonshiner in the Ozark Mountains, and the corrupt sheriff who made it all possible.

Along the way, the unlikely duo of lawman and outlaw discovered that greed ruins even the best-laid plans, and the Devil always gets His due. Although the hills and hollows echoed with whispers after the sheriff’s alleged suicide, no one dared to reveal the hidden truth behind his double life. Until now.
