I was born at a very early age.

About Me

AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY I was born at a very early age in Guntersville, Alabama. During my formative years I learned to brush my teeth, tie my shoes and ride a bicycle. I also listened to Elvis records and wore pajamas with little animals on them. Since those days everything else has been pretty much of a blur.Along the way, however, I did manage to finish school. I eventually stumbled onto the guitar and figured out enough chords to eke out a living as a musician. Some years down the road I traded one of my guitars and an amp to this crop-duster pilot for flying lessons. Several thousand flight hours later I had swindled my way into the captains seat of a Boeing 727, where Im currently gainfully employed. During that time I also got married, unmarried and raised my two kittens, Guinness and Heineken, to become useful and productive members of society.When I wasnt busy composing this autobiography, I recorded a couple of albums ("Swede Home Alabama" and "The Lost Causeway") with some friends of mine from Göteborg, Sweden and Muscle Shoals, Alabama.That pretty much sums up my life. Ive gotta go now, I need to brush my teeth.
