In the woods outside of Greensboro, AL there’s an interesting fellow named Music Man, aka Mr. Eyes Cancer, aka Jimmy Lee Matthews.
We heard that he likes visitors so we decided to seek him out. Above, Facilitator Nick Yulman stands in front of Music Man’s elaborate hog gate and, as directed, calls him. When closed, the gate blocks cars from entering but allows Music Man to pass through on his motor scooter.

Music Man’s old house burned down in a fire, so Samuel Mockbee’s wonderful Rural Studio project built him a new one. Combining innovative design, economical construction and ecologically sound operation the house is quite something. Music man has made it his own, filling it with a rumbling sound system which employs a wiring scheme only he can understand. He lives with numerous dogs: Shaggley Fool, Mouse, Bat Girl & Tail, to name a few.

Music Man sang us some of his songs, many of which start with him performing a dramatic scene. Here, he holds pebbles he collected for use as prop dice in his song "What’s a Nice Girl Like you Doing in Place Like This?".

Our favorite song of his goes:
"You don’t need to look in the mirror, I’ll be your mirror baby/
I’ll be your mirror telling you, ‘you’re looking good!’"
