About Me

I grew up on a cattle ranch in Southeast Oklahoma. It was there that my interest grew in art and music. During my high school years, I met a local abstract impressionist painter in Enid, OK named John W. Randolph. His paintings sparked my interest in the contemporary arts. I also nurture a keen interest in American roots music from the 1930s to the early 1960s. I am also interested in all aspects of the pop culture of the American South and West.
