About Me
I'm a storyteller. I wrap my little stories in simple music to keep them safe and warm. I've lived a lot of life, as most men my age have, and now before I fade away, I am sharing that life in my work. Nobody ever cares who writes the songs they love, only the pretty boys and girls with pretty voices that sing them but that's okay, I can still get a Big Mac in peace. It's getting harder and harder to earn one's dime in this business now with all the pirates on the internet seas.
I'd like to meet
Abraham Lincoln and sit up all night talking, maybe even about which of our wives (mine are in the past), bought the most shoes and purses. I'd like to kick back on a cliff overlooking the sea in Greece and mix ideas with Socrates as long as he keeps his hands to himself. I'd like to sit by a stream in Nazareth and talk to Jesus about what he felt inside before he left for Calvary.
Activities
golf, tennis, hiking, camping, a good woman's wine and rain on a hot tin roof. Living my life in a Tennessee William's play.
Interests
My writing, my photography, my music
Favorite Music
Classical, Jazz & Blues. Country Music and old time rock and roll.
Favorite TV Shows
House, Numbers, Criminal Minds, ESPN, NFL Channel, Science Channel, All the Discoveries, Fox & CNN (can't get the whole picture from either alone)
Favorite Movies
Midnight in the Garden of Eden (and anything else starring or directed by Clint Eastwood), The Sting, The Natural, Kingdom of Heaven, All the adventures of Mel or Harrison) Kpac, The Days of Wine and Roses anything directed by the profile man (Alfred Hitchcock)
Favorite Books
All by Uris, Michener, Vidal, Gresham, Cook, Ludlum, Faulkner, Steinbeck, Hemmingway, London, Brown Favorite: The Source by Michener, Exedus & The Haj by Uris, Lincoln and Burr by Vidal.
Favorite Quotes
My friend Max is a full blood Creek Indian who in another time would have been a Shaman. I was on the down side of life's see saw the other day, uncertain of my work. He asked e how I felt and I answered, "Max, some men die and go to Hell and some of us go to Hell and then we die. I'm not sure which man I am today". Writers spend too much time in Purgatory.
Favorite Heroes
John McCain, Abe Lincoln, Payton Manning, Reggie White, Earnie Grunfeld, The man I wish I could have been. The man I may yet be.

View all 58 comments »We have, in our society reached a near 50/50 balance between those who want to produce and acheive and those who, for one reason or another cannot acheive or will not and so need help to sustain their life. I don't mind those who try and fail, but I am angered by the growing number who don't want to try and expect someone to take care of them and are never satisfied with the amount given.
In November we will see if we survive as a constructive society or not. We are at the crossroads and must fight through the ballot box to hold back the waves of social destruction.
