About Me

From the Freedom Riders, Black Panthers, Redwood Summer, Salvage Logging, Lyle Point and Black Mesa to my little guitar and loud voice singing to give peace a voice and to encourage the wild things not to give up.I'm an island person (British Isles) by ancestry who gets Island fever; so I can't ever live in Hawaii or my ancestral Ireland. I'll just appreciate and play island music instead.I'm 14th generation on US Soil on me mum's side..Virginia to Texas; that gives me 13 generations of maternal ancestors from Virginia, Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi & Texas. On me dad's side, I'm 6th generation .... all from West Virginia. Everyone started in Ireland, Scotland & England...with the exception of the horny Frenchperson that managed to get into the mix, came to American soil merge with some Caddo & Powhatan and make me.I'm the first generation born in Cali. My kids are second, and my grandkids are third. My Grandkids are 17th generation Americans So, I've got well over 400 years on this land. My indigenous friends tell me; that's a pretty good start. My great grandchildren will be 18 generations: that's Seven Generations times Two plus Four!!.What does mean? It means I care about what happens to my ancestral land and that I try to speak for her. Do I consider the rest of the planet as important as my ancestral land? Absolutely. We're all part of Mother Earth...period...dot...that's just the way how it is.
