About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
I was the proverbial geek in Hi School, yep that was me... ROTC, Eagle Scout, drug-free, bright but with average grades. But BABY! look at me now....Great life, wonderful kids, fantastic wife, nice home in a super neighborhood, a fantastic job, living the good life in New Orleans. And just to put a cherry on top, got my own radio show on WWOZ, "Sittin' At The Crossroad" with Big D. I play the blues every Wednesday afternoon from 2 until 4.The listeners to the station are from all over the world. I've gotten email from Germany, England, Australia, Guatamala, and just about every state. The station is highly respected by the music community in New Orleans and everywhere and I have met so many great and soon to be great musicians thru the station.
(Yes, that is a picture of T S Monk Jr. over there. ---)
Life is good, and I wish for you......
May all your blues be on the radio....
