My main interest is my son STEVIE RAY but I am also very interested right now into getting into some kind of schooling and getting myself into a very comfortable living situation. Always looking for a way to better my life. Other interest right now include getting in touch with my Native American heritage and going to a good Pow Wow and I really need to do a sweat.
My other interest's are good movies, great music "live or recorded". I also like the Cirque De Solei and going to plays like Rent, Stomp & Little Shop Of Horrors and anything about Blues, Gospel and Black Americans. I also go the Untapped Blues & Brews Festival, Sunbanks Roots & Blues Festival, Portland Waterfront Blues Festival, Mt Baker Blues Festival & The Ritzville Blues Festival and fortunately get to hang out backstage at all of them.
I also remember the concerts out at Seward Park, The Walrus Tav, The Owl Cafe, The Jolly Roger Roadhouse, The Pipeline, The District Tavern, Goldies On Broadway, The Bite @ Greenlake, The(real)Fabulous Rainbow, Parkers & Parkers Ballroom & The Eagles Auditorium.
I am also interested in a long term relationship as I am growing tired of coming home to an empty bed. I am feeling that it is time for me to be in love and I want to be in love.
And when I can afford them I enjoy really good cigars especially those that dear Mr's. Kennedy won't let us have here. Having a lazy morning then a nice late breakfast and then later smoking a thick cuban cigar is an ideal day for me.

I would really love to meet bassist extarordinaire Victor Wooten, his music is just so cool and sounds so together & full of life + serenity. Others may be Sam Phillips from Sun Records, Jack Nicholson 4 sure, Morgan Freeman, Christopher Walken, The Dali Lama, and Paul Allen so I can see if he wants to help at our festival as I do know he plays guitar and has a band. I have met many Blues artists and had been friends with the late William Clarke and also knew Buddy Miles. I am friends with a lot of touring bands like Mark Hummel, Shemekia Copeland, Randy Chortkoff, David Gogo, Too Slim & The Taildraggers, Mitch Woods, Rick Holmstrom, John Nemeth, Mark DuFresne, Johnny Dyer, Janiva Magness, Pamela Moore, Jason Ricci, Candye Kane and Frankie Lee to name a few. Probably my most memorable meeting was with BB King, wow, what an aura he has.Hmmm, Woman wise I would love to meet A beautiful 40 - 54 year old woman who loves all types of music, movies, animals and my growing 12 yr old boy Stevie Ray. She must be a lovely woman who does not need to talk when the music is blaring or we are dancing but is easy to have a conversation with. She can be sexy tall or short, blond, black, REDHEAD, brunette, but she MUST be very attractive and nicely put together with no drama or jealousy. She must also be healthy, sexy, romantic and NOT be TONE DEAF or RHYTHMICALLY IMPAIRED. She must also not mind that I smoke an occasional "real good" cigar and if she smokes an occasional cigar also then all the better cause a cigar smoking woman is very sexy. I am truly ready for a long term commitment with the right lady but there is nothing wrong with a little Bump & Grind. If she just wants to hang out I am cool with that also. If she wants a long term relationship than I am looking for someone to share everything with and to make plans with and travel with and just enjoy the rest of what life has to offer. The most important thing here is that she must like me for who I am and stand by me in whatever I am doing and when I am doing the festivals she must understand that I am very, very busy during that first and third weekend of July and that I am not forgetting her. Hey Ladies I can also iron clothes and do it very well and I KNOW that is a PLUS. Creative peoples, artists, all musicians, music lovers, risk takers, freaks and ANYONE who will stand their ground even when their opinions are unpopular ones. Something I do know is that if you touch a woman's mind, you get her interest, touch a woman's heart, you get her love. Touch a woman's soul, you'll get passion beyond your wildest dreams! Touch all 3 and you'll have a lover 4 life. www.winthropbluesfestival.com
