Ray Cunningham was born in a hundred-year-old log cabin in northern Alabama, in a rural community where almost everybody had less than an eighth-grade education. That doesn’t mean his neighbors were uneducated — just "short on book learning."
In Ray’s younger years, he heard and spoke nothing but "old timey southern talk." His desire to save his native dialect led Ray to travel extensively in the South, cataloging the terms and phrases of his youth.
Now retired, Ray lives in Ocala, Florida. His other books include Simpler Times, and the recently published If You Don’t Know It’s Bad, It Isn’t.
