About Me

I am a 51 year old man from Memphis. I love JESUS. I love music including gospel, blues, rock, folk, country,and most other genre's of music. Ilike to go and listen to live music and play music. I like to dance,cut up,and act a bit of the fool.I am currently engaged in several musical projects and am looking for people in and around memphis to collaberate with. Check out this blues band called "THE BLIND DUCK BLUES BAND" you can visit them at: theblindducks.com . From time to time you will notice my top friends changing.Im having A lot of fun tracking down my musical hero's and am making A lot of new friends along the way.There is just not enough space to have everyone at the top all the time so I rotate.The same goes for my profile songs i wish I could have A top 100 selection that would be fun. Alas there can be only one.If I find out its your birthday you will find youself in my top friends. My experience on myspace overal has been A good one.The good far outways the bad.I WANT TO SAY A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ALL THE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE BUILDING AND MAINTAINING TRIBUTE PAGES!!!!! I REALLY CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH. JUST TODAY(09-19-2006)I FOUND LOUIS ARMSTRONG'S TRIBUTE PAGE.HE WAS THE INSPIRATION THAT MADE BE PICK UP A HORN IN THE FIRST PLACE(AN OLD TRUMPET BOUGHT OUT OF A CANAL STREET PAWNSHOP).I SAT FIRST CHAIR FIRST IN THE 8th GRADE. What im thinking about doing in the spirit of rotation and friendship is have special tribute days.I think that will be A lot of fun and I will accept outside ideas so shoot me an email with your thoughts.I could have a gospel day, a blues day,a rock day' ... ... ... and a real people day. The possibiities are endless so shoot me some ideas thanks.

My Interests

music, people, life and recovery.I like nature,travel,old toys,mountains lakes and streams.I love to read. I love funny and original things and ideas! I LOVE PEOPLE!!!

I'd like to meet:

JESUS my creator. this list of who I,d like to meet is a very long list and would include some that have already left this earth. I have already met thousands or at least a dozen or so very nice and or interesting people. Perhaps I,ll meet you some day.

Music:

most of it! I grew up around music. My daddy was a hot old time country guitar picker with a baritone voice and could croon a little tenor. My mother could sing like an angel. We are a musical artistic family.I like gospel,rock,blues,folk,acoustic,bluegrass,country,almost anything if it sounds good. I play harmonica and guitar as well as being a singer songwriter. HERE'S THE WORDS TO A GOSPEL SONG BY RAY BOLTZ. THEY MEAN A LOT TO ME. WORDS AND MUSIC @ BY RAY BOLTZ I dreamed I went to heaven And you were there with me We walked upon the streets of gold Beside the crystal sea We heard the angels singing Then someone called your name You turned and saw this young man And he was smiling as he cameAnd he said, Friend You may not know me now And then he said, But wait You used to teach my Sunday School When I was only eight And every week you would say a prayer Before the class would start And one day when you said that prayer I asked Jesus in my heartCHORUS: Thank you for giving to the Lord I am a life that was changed Thank you for giving to the Lord I am so glad you gaveThen another man stood before you And said remember the time A missionary came to your church And his pictures made you cry You didn't have much money But you gave it anyway Jesus took the gift you gave And that's why I am here todayCHORUSOne by one they came Far as the eye could see Each life somehow touched By your generosity Little things that you had done Sacrifices made Unnoticed on the earth In heaven now proclaimedAnd I know up in heaven You're not supposed to cry But I am almost sure There were tears in your eyes As Jesus took your hand And you stood before the Lord He said, My child look around you Great is your rewardCHORUS (repeat)I am so glad you gave
