I wasn't born the seventh son, on the seventh hour, on the seventh day, or on the seventh month; but I was born in Keene, New Hampshire back in 1972.

I've rambled up and down the East Coast of the Good Ol'USA. Sat a spell in Sydney, Australia (2005-2009). And currently growing roots in London, UK.

I am a proud owner of a turntable.

I am a fan of music and all of the sounds and stories that live in the songs. I believe in the three musical truths: Blues, Country and Gospel (it all comes from here).

This is music that is deeply ingrained in the background of the music makers; all of whom are connected by a shared experience that links them inextricably; music with a message and a literal truth.

And like the bluesmen, country singers and folk troubadours before me, I'm pulled by the lure of going around in search of the sounds and to share my own stories.

The 2009 Theme:

"I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more." - Bob Dylan

“To see life clearly, to live it like a champion, you have to develop your own set of rules.” - Dr. Hunter S. Thompson

"Live free or die. Death is not the worst evil..." - John Stark, 1809

"Let that boy boogie-woogie. It's in him and it gots to get out". - John Lee Hooker

"One man's normal is another man's strange..." - Me
