Hog Time Music is the creative outlet of Ralph Goff. I write most of the songs and record them in my home based studio, Hog Time Studio. I'm backed up on many songs by my long time musical partner and friend, John Jett, playing banjo and resonator guitar. John is also the artist of the Hog Time Music drawing. I primarily play acoustic guitar (1969 Martin D18, Taylor 812C and 1963 Gibson Southern Jumbo), and add some fills with mandolin on some songs. In addition, most vocal work is by me. Computer generated drum and bass is also used on some songs.

Story behind the song
I was visiting my home state of Arkansas and driving along the beautiful White River. The idea for this song came to me there.
Lyrics
(C) 2005 Ralph Goff www.HogTimeMusic.com BURY ME ON AN ARKANSAS HILLTOP ============================== When my Dad's time had finally come He called me over to his bedside Said "Son here's what I want you to do When I finally die" [chorus] Just bury me on an Arkansas hilltop High above where the White River's flowin' So these old bones can rest in a peaceful place While my soul is enjoying life in heaven Dad's been gone for five years now And Mom is quickly failing I asked her where she wanted to rest and she said "Son there ain't no use in asking" [repeat chorus] Now I'm old and grey and my body hurts Don't think I've got much longer I don't have to think about where I want to go When my days are over [repeat chorus] [repeat chorus]
