Jefferson's Story
Life
Hey ya'll,
They don't talk like that (hey, ya'll) where I've lived since 1984 in NJ. I moved here with a Houston based band to pursue fame and fortune in the music biz in the NYC area.
The band was short lived but I married a Jersey girl and made it home here.
I've been divorced since mid 90's. I have a terrific son nearby. People ask if I would ever move back to Texas - NO because my son is here! He'll be 17 late 2007. The only thing I've done right in my life. Ever get that feeling?
I live 12 miles west of NYC. Why do people always make fun of New Jersey? Nearby is the shore (they don't call it the beach), mountains for skiing, lots of natural beauty for hiking and an amazing night life. NYC is amazing! The live music, plays, art, Central Park, Greenwich Village. It's a cool cool place. I can see the skyline from my town.

loved in 2000.
I'm enjoying my passion of music. I have a CD with my contemporary jazz band (check it out at cdbaby dot com forward slash jeffersonmusic). I perform mostly solo on acoustic guitar and vocal doing James Taylor, Van Morrison, The Eagles etc (hmmm stuff from my youth) and I also do originals.

I miss family and friends. I visit Texas often but my family now lives in Austin. I love it there!!! Sorry Baytown. I go at least twice a year taking my son in the summer and then I visit during the holidays or something for a long weekend.
I went to Sterling all except my junior year at Lee where I met my first serious 'love'. So I feel very connected to both high schools.
By the way, the 'now' picture is from 2005 at age 50. The 'then' picture is the cover of my CD from age 6.
Keep cool Texans!
