Jay Happy Mcdonald

Happy was born in the wilds of North Mississippi during the turbulent sixties. As organized activities were scarce, he grew up reading voraciously; including encyclopedias a through z. His mother did manage to find a ballet teacher when Happy was 7, so he studied ballet with two sisters and discovered an instant forum for for his performing bug. Childhood passes into adulthood, and after attending Ole Miss and Mississippi State, Happy became a bassist in various local bands. He went from being a rock and roller to a cattle farmer, but the music bug never quite let go, and the acting bug struck during this time. Re-enacting Civil War history had become a passion, and Happy became a Civil War character in several movies. Happy is now a contracted singer/songwriter affiliated with The Kitty Wells Entertainment Corporation and is in the process of releasing his first album titled "Happy GoatHammer" by his band, HappyGoat.
