About Me

Left Miller in 1975, worked for the city of Marinette until I got married and moved down to Nederland, Texas (near Randy and Janice Warner). Also had the opportunity to party with Ben and Rexanna Murphy. Didn't stay in Texas long, because duty called and I had to do a stint on the road in the folk duo "Blue and Rust". Stopped in to see Brian Willia for a night and got to see him play music in a local pub. After the road, went on to make eyeglasses for a living. Got laid off when the company moved out of town. Whent to work at a local shipyard where wooden minesweepers where being built. Got layed off from there and worked in a retail store until I got a job making glasses. Became Lab manager, but quit because of not enough pay and no benefits (except free eyeware and vacation). Went back to the shipyard as a machinery person. Worked on several coast guard cutters, Staton Island Ferries and most recently on the LCS1 Freedom. At 55 I decided it was time to put together an album of somes of the songs that I'd written over the years. The album "Old Stuff" is available for download in itunes, amazon and several other internet sights. Fealt like a rock star the night it hit the first sight, but still had to go to work the next day...oh well life goes on wheither you want it to or not

No, but you're getting closer. More than likely only Tom Stark Knows, and I hope that he doesn't give it away (at least for awhile).
