The Ballad of Uncle G is Greg Langford's account of growing up in his "normal" dysfunctional family. It is brutally honest, poignant, sarcastic, and hilarious. Greg's use of humor as a weapon against the dysfunction of suicide, addiction, and mental illness is sadly hilarious and will leave readers with hope for their own battles.

Greg's use of humor as a defense has grown into a stand-up comedy career, a comedy album, and a national tour with top comedians and internet celebrities. Greg's drinking career ended on February 3, 1999, and his first trip to re-hab sums up his entire attitude toward life. When the doctor told Greg he was "bi-polar," Greg argued that he was "hetero-polar." The doctor went on to tell Greg that he was BP, ADD, suffering from PSTD, and may have QULE. When the doctor asked Greg if he had any questions, Greg responded with, "Yeah, can I buy a vowel?"

Buy The Ballad of Uncle G for a personal account of one man's effort to overcome the stigmas associated with suicide, addiction, and mental illness with humor and hope.
