My best bud Tommy Tanksley kept his Christmas tree up untill mid June waiting for me to come home from Veit-Nam.I'll never forget. I had friends like Lonnie Harris,Don Ball,Randle Humphrys, Carol Gunn,Becky Robinson,Zelda Gaston{my first steady} and scores of other band and cheerleader members . I couldn't wait to get out of Mesquite so I joined the Army was off to see the world. I didn't plan on Veit-Nam. I survived my childhood and I survived Nam maybe all the worse for the wear and tear.

l wife and adopted daughter untill 1989 when my wife and I moved to Las Vegas.
Soon divorced and wild on the streets of Vegas I played guitar in Blues bands for 10 years and ended up married again to a RedHeaded BellyDancer. We're still married. We now live in the Texas HillCountry . I still play the Blues every once in a while.

To all those women , I'm truly sorry.If lifes a dance that you learn as you go,then I'm sure that I stepped on a lot of toes. It took me to about 35 years to become the kind of person worthy of a good woman and a good life.
I've been married ,this time, for 15 years to a good woman who loves me in spite of my faults. We live in the country on 5 acres with our 3 dogs,2cats and 17 deer. We have a herd of deer that feed right outside our back door. Our life is slow and peacefull and for me thats alright.
