Every day we are jumping from one task to another – looking at the watch as a guide. No wonder heart attack is one of the main causes to death. We forget to pause, to look around and to enjoy friendship and family. The world is beautiful…

Profile Information
- About Me:
- I am a 70 year old Blind Blues Harp player and vocalist!Listened to Randy's Record Shop on an old am radio back in the '40s & '50s!In the late '50s,couldn't take it any longer and headed South looking for some old black gentleman sitting on the porch playing that slide blues music,out on one of those old red dirt clay roads in Georgia!Sure enough,I found one!To make a long story short,he took me right on in and there is where I learned to play my 30 cent harmonica!The old man's name was Willie!I hung out with him for over a month!Before I left he took me to two or three of his friends houses to play for some parties they were having!I didn't know but two songs then but that's all you had to know!You played those same two songs over & over all night long and drank that white liquor!When I left there,I started touring on down South and playing at every black joint I could find in every town!Anywhere I could hear the Blues being played!I was treated very well everywhere I went!Didn't know about any problems back then between different races of people!I was raised in Kentucky where we all got along as neighbors!Later on in life I wondered how I survived it,but I guess that old Blues Harmonica was my way of saying"I'm ok,just love the Blues!"So here I am,70 years old and Blind ,still playing the Blues,trying tp preserve it!Blues is The Real Deal!Listen to some of these people I have mentioned and you will be in for a real treat!God Bless and keep playing the Blues!

- Every day we are jumping from one task to another – looking at the watch as a guide. No wonder heart attack is one of the main causes to death. We forget to pause, to look around and to enjoy friendship and family. The world is beautiful – you only have to allow yourself to see it - to experience it. Look at the watch, painted by Jette – given the title “Time is relative”.
