I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

It is better to radiate than drain...sounds good on paper but in real life....well one tries anyway. I am a performance poet and musician...A shameless plug here for the best band I ever played with Coyote Poets of the Universe (www.myspace.com/coyotepoetsoftheuniverse) I still do the radio dial (I only work at the sickest stations lucky me)1190 am and KUVO.org...I am on here (myspace) to network for my poetry and music and make some friends along the way. Hey it's worked I met our violinist and our sax player on myspace. After a half a century roaming the planet I still love being here...I've had my days...who hasn't but I am trying to be a radiator remember? We can talk politics....but I guarantee you won't like my politics...I'm neither left or right...I'm just at home tonight... looking at this computer screen... flying under the radar...trying to be seen. I hope we can be friends and I wish you and yours many blessings.
