About Me

River gonna take me Sing me sweet and sleepy Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back back home It's a far gone lullaby sung many years ago Mama, Mama, many worlds I've come since I first left homeI like to meet new people and travel around the country and go to shows . I like nature i wish i had a cabin in the woods somewhere, someday? i like finding peace in this crazy world . stopping along the way to enjoy the view.

I'd like to meet:

"It's much too late to do anything about rock & roll now ..." - Jerry Garcia / Grateful Dead"Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosphy. Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks and invents." - Ludwig van Beethoven"I would advise you to keep your overhead down; avoid a major drug habit; play everyday and take it in front of other people. They need to hear it and you need them to hear it." -James Taylorobody stopped thinking about those psychedelic experiences. Once you've been to some of those places, you think, "How can I get back there again but make it a little easier on myself?" Jerry GarciaFor me, the lame part of the Sixties was the political part, the social part. The real part was the spiritual part. Jerry GarciaSomebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us. Jerry GarciaConstantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil. Jerry GarciaYou do not merely want to be considered just the best of the best. You want to be considered the only ones who do what you do. Jerry GarciaCountry music has changed tremendously, so what now is considered country was not considered country at that time. We were doing stuff that probably could have been called country music today, but would certainly have not have fit in at that time. Charlie Daniels
