    Started off in Minneapolis MN, school time the city, summer time the farms.

    Left home and then it was North Carolina, California and Virginia in the United States.

    Then it was Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso and Luxembourg City, Luxembourg. Back to California for a spell, and then out to Okinawa Japan. Back to California and then I finally put down some roots in Luxembourg, although that looks like it may be ending very soon.

    Did not bother putting down anywhere I lived less than a year or some of those strange places that I’m still not sure even where I was.

    Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Moved to Texas after college, then back to Terlton, Oklahoma then to West Lafayette Indianna, then back to Terlton, Oklahoma and now living in Mannford, Oklahoma.

    I tried to leave several times only to find myself home sick for Oklahoma again.

    My regrets now is that I wish there were more Jam sessions around here, seems to be alot going on everywhere else.

    You gotta be right down the road from Ken & Laura Ratcliff then. #Morehead is what... 20 minutes from Elliottville?

    Myself - pretty boring. #West Michigan (near Grand Rapids) my entire life. ##
