About Me

"Music is your experience, thoughts and wisdom, if you don't live it, it can't come out your horn." - Charlie Parker
So then, if Charlie's right, and I believe he is, then my music and poetry are my bio.
I hope you'll take the time to read and listen, experience my art and you'll know me better than any history or list of stats would ever tell you about me.
Art liberated me, for that very reason, I am a passionate arts advocate, and I do my best to encourage others to find and develop their artistic voice. I host a local ORIGINAL arts night, called BE HEARD I'm grateful for those who helped me grow as an artist so I do my best to give back. It keeps me growing. There's nothing like finding that place where you can BOLDLY share your personal truth, your experience, your wisdom. It's truely healing.
I'm finding more every day, when I give passionately from my heart, my life becomes so much more than I ever imagined it could be. I don't have to work my fingers to the bone waiting for riches in some far off tomorrow. When I boldly share my life honestly I am rich beyond measure, in the here and NOW
MUCH LOVE!! my friends! MUCH LOVE!!
About you: Regarding people I ask to be my friends, to quote C.S. Lewis "Eros will have naked bodies; Friendship naked personalities." ie I LOVE REAL PEOPLE -- naked both, spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually..... if I ask you to be my friend its because your naked :D in the all the best ways!
RE: YOUR COMMENTS - thanks so much for leaving them, please keep graphics a reasonable size. I will delete duplicates and any oversized graphics, sorry. Oh and I have young kids that are friends so PLEASE be RESPONSIBLE ADULTS, be a GOOD INFLUENCE!! No language or racy photos I'll delete them, and if they persist you as well. I deeply appreciate the LOVE and support of my friends, and will return the same!
My grandaddy once told me "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything" So I stand for -- courageous artists who know that art has a responsibility to reveal and heal.
I stand against greed and injustice. I stand up for the the poor, the hungry, the homeless, the helpless, and the planet.
