I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Am a 61 year old country/folk/rock performer, trying to rejuvinate a career in solo perfroming that I left some 20 years ago to work on a marriage and relationship. Love to meet new people who are interested and excited by singer/songwriters and how they express themselves and think. I also act, do stand up on occasion and just generally love to "perform". I approach performing in the following way:If I can make an audience laugh, cry, think and generally end up loving one another, then my mission has been completed for that moment. I can be moody, but it doesn't take much to change that and I can come right out of that stuff!!!! Am a city boy by history, but prefer open spaces, vibrant firey sunsets, the autumn moon, and the slow pace of small town life. Love my car, but would rather have a horse and a place to ride.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who are in the entertainment industry, especially singer/songwriters. Have already met some like Dierks Bentley, Keith Anderson and Billy Currington. Would also like to meet some of my heroes in life like Norman Schwartzkopf, John Glen, Colin Powell, John F. Kennedy, Harry S Truman, Eleaor Roosevelt; some of these people had to face some of the hardest situations and make some of the most important decisions of the past century.

My Blog

I gotta get this blog thing down!

There is definitely something up with me!  I feel like I am in the confessional, a very strange place for a nice Jewish guy to be!  I feel quite guilt riddled, so here goes: Forgive me, frie...
