about me
I am a disabled veteran of the VietNam war. I am much older than I want to be but nothing I can do about that. I am an artist, as well as a poet, and had a band for a number of years in my home state of Maine. I was lead singer and played rhythm guitar. I cannot play any more because of my disability but I love music and have a fantastic collection of music on my computer. I think it is close to 20,000 songs. I got them from my large record collection, from a large cassette collection, a fairly large CD collection and I am a member of Rhapsody and have bought a lot of music from them. And I like any kind of music, as long as it is good. But I am first, a country fan. That's what my band played when I was playing. It is my first love.
I now live In Virginia, because my eldest daughter, her family, and my brother live here. But the biggest reason I am in Virginia is because I got tired of shoveling snow and freezing to death. I am too old for that kind of life.
Finally, I am here to support some very excellent singers trying to make the big time. They are my friends on myspace. I hope to make more friends here.
interests
General
Music, music, music. And of course, my computer. Also am a genealogist and write poetry.
Music
I like every genre there is, as long as the music is good, it doesn't matter. However, my current favorites are my friends from myspace, but also I am a fan of the older singers like Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Gene Watson, and the list could go on and on. I am a fan of Trace Adkins, Carrie Underwood, Patty Loveless (she is awesome), Emmylou Harris, Rhonda Vincent, Brad Paisley, Alison Krauss, Tracy Lawrence, Alan Jackson, and many many more. I just love to listen to music.
Movies
I am a romantic at heart so I like movies like Braveheart, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Sleepless in Seattle, and anything with Liv Tyler in it. Love her!! Big Tom Hanks fan so Iike all of his movies. I don't watch them a lot but I do from time to time. Oh yeah, almost forgot one of my all time favorites, Dances with Wolves. Great movie.
Books
Usually I like Historical Non-Fiction or books of Poetry, sometimes I like a good historical fiction novel. I don't read as much as I used to. Too much time on the computer, I think.
Quotes
Quote the Raven, nevermore!!
Food
If I didn't have to eat, I wouldn't....Not a big fan of any special food, although I like Turkey on the holidays, and chicken if I go out to eat. Like Chinese food pretty well.
