About Duane Rod

Started writing and recording a few years ago and just enjoy creating in my home studio. Produce and package CDs to give away and all music is available for free digital download on various sites. I was born in El Campo, Texas on August 10, 1957. That would make me about 60 years old, depending on when you're reading this. It's a little town about 70 miles south of Houston. People around there are mainly farmers and business owners, and basically real nice down-home folks. My Dad died in a car accident when I was just a little boy, and from then on Mom had a tough time finding a good man; but she picked a good one on the third try!! He was a really good step-father and took good care of Mom, until he died of cancer in 12/08.

In August of 1977 I married a wonderful woman and my best friend, Dolly. She has been absolutely the biggest blessing I've ever know in my life; outside of my Saviour Jesus. We adopted a son, but that story doesn't have a very happy ending so I won't go into that. We could never have children, but we've got a few waiting for us in Heaven......and I know they're being well taken care of. She has stood by me through the good and bad and has always been there to encourage me and convince me that I "could do it", whatever it was. We currently have a little "four legged" daughter named Lacy.
