Who’s writing this?…..

My given name wouldn’t tell you much about me. It’s not a reflection of who I am, or why I’m  here. After all, we are only a perpetuation of those that came before us combined with the mirrored effects of our surroundings. For that reason, I  present to you a relative list of pertinent details:

  • Ancestry.com would have you believe that I am of Scottish, Irish, and British Heritage,
  • Once in America, my family settled in the south. We were farmers and bee keepers.
  • Our written family records show that I am also of Native American (Cherokee) heritage. I am a direct descendant to “Yellow Bird Trail Killer”. I was born in the bloodline of his daughter “Yellow Bird”
  • My forefathers fought in the Revolutionary War, WW-1, and WW-2.
  • I was born during  the “baby boom” to a lower middle class family.
  • My parents divorced when I was 16. My father was not a part of my life again until many years later.
  • I didn’t go to college. When I graduated from high school, I was making more money than my mom and had the only car in the family.
  • I love people. I love my wife, my family, my dog, music and knowing that there is a great  abundance and opportunity all around us if we choose to see it.  
  • I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in late June of 2017.
  • I enjoy the memories of my past, but I don’t live there.
  • I do my best to learn from my mistakes….and I don’t look back…..ever. 
  • I read a lot.
  • I would be remiss if I didn’t mention at least once that-  I. Love. Bourbon.

If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
