About Me

I grew up in a little grass shack by the ocean where my parents would fish for our dinner. Lucky for us there were several coconut trees by our house so we always had a good supply of coconut milk. We also ate a lot of bananas, papayas, and other fruit with lots of vowels in their names.I walked several miles to a little missionary school where I learned to read, write and sing gospel songs. By the second grade, we were required to wear clothes and that took some getting used to.Now I'm a Deejay at a local FM radio station. I have the mid-day shift, and at night I play music with my band, The Blond Boys. We do mostly 60's rock and roll. I have a Line 6 guitar which comes in very handy as we do a lot of the British Invasion songs. This year we have been together for 21 years.

Self expression is the answer to the age old question, "Why are we here?"
