Early life and career Born in Columbus, Georgia, Donald Joseph Allcorn began learning guitar in elementary school and listened to Hank Williams as a child.[2] His grandmother bought him a guitar as a child, but he did not use it much until he heard a Hank Williams album of his mother's, which inspired him to become a singer-songwriter. [3] At age 17, he won a regional talent show performing Williams' "Long Gone Lonesome Blues". [citation needed]
Allcorn began his professional career performing on the "J.B. Slicker Show," playing at fairs and festivals throughout the southeastern United States.[citation needed] He also performed at the Hank Williams Museum in Montgomery, Alabama.[4] His debut album, 50 Years Too Late, was released on October 6, 2006.[citation needed]

Personal life On June 28, 2007, Allcorn testified before the United States House Committee on Small Business regarding federal royalty increases on Internet radio stations.[5] He opposed the increases, stating online platforms were essential for niche market performers.[6]
