I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am the leader of a traveling band of gypsys who prey on small towns convencing them to hand over their fortunes in exchange for our key lime pies... I will be coming to your town soon with my fancy pies.... get ready. Don't resist!... My pie is damn good.... resistance is futile!!! ************************************************************ *************************** For real? If you insist!..........Before becoming a pie swindler, I worked in the music biz. Now I work in the TV and film biz. I am finally finishing up my first documentary on 60's garage bands - specifically covering the Teen Scene in the Dallas/ Fort Worth Texas area from 1963 - 1968, it's called "Teen A-Go-Go" & it has a myspace page too, check it out it's my first friend on top friends below. Living here back then had to be a gas!! The stories I have uncovered and the people I have been priviledged enough to meet in the past 3 years during this proccess has forever changed me. I have some other film ideas I am working on that I will tell of when it is time. I have not left the music biz, only changed what I do in it - and now I have an all new love affair with music in a different way! If you already know me, then you know I am in love with whatever I am currently occupying my time with! Yes, I am obessed!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who are themselves - genuine. People who love film, art, wine, good food and a good time. People who travel unconventionally, are fun, interesting and engaged in the world.

My Blog
