I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

First and foremost I am an avid music lover! I love to go out and listen to live music. Mostly Rock, but also enjoy Jazz, Blues and I am always open to new sounds.

Behind music my next love is photography. I have had a camera in my hands since I was about 9. I've never had any formal training, and shoot purely for the fun of it and for my own amusement. I love it when I can combine my music fetish and the photo bug and take shots of live bands. But I also like to take pictures of the native Texas scenery or of anywhere that I go. I have a collection of thousands of photo's. Some good - some cheesy - but all have some kind of memory associated with them.

I have been divorced since 97 and have been in a couple of long term relationships since then that just didn't work out. I have 2 kids. My daughter is 20 and blessed me with a beautiful grandson, and my son is 18. He too is into music - plays electric bass and guitar.
I guess you can go check out my web site.. OtherThanRoses.com - it has a lil bit of info - but mostly just has all my photos... About 1500 or so that I have taken on vacations, at concerts, and of just stuff....
