About Me

I was born a preacher's son in the panic pastures of KY in the grand ol year of 76. Im a jazz freak, a vinyl collector, an ex preacher, an avid reader. I also write poetry and short stories, rock a burly beard, support local music and live in a attic loft in a 165 year old former church rectory.I also paint and sing in THE BOOGEYMAN JUBILEE. And somtimes mumble to myself and sing Tony Bennett songs in the grocery store and quote Chris Farley and Arthur Rimbaud.
