Saw Elvis on Ed Sullivan show and wanted to play the guitar at six. Started trying to playing guitar in 1965 at 13 with a play along to The Ventures record ,lost the record but am still trying to play it anyway. I told my grandma that when I grow up I want to be a musician! She said you cant do both! I hate it when old people are right! I've played harmonica since 1969 My fav websites are Myspace,Reverbnation,Splice,Zooomr ,Youtube ,Jamacast, the Texas lottery site to check my non-winning numbers. I am trying to learn flash to do animation and movie fx for youtube ,but still a neophyte. I love music ,food ,fun and more music! I hope to make money someday,because I've always been a musician. I lived in a commune in New Mexico ,begged for change in Toronto,naked at a rainbow gathering in Texas,arrested in Denver for attempting to climb a tree,ate turnips right out of the ground in Mississippi,worked at a motorcycle shop in Dallas,drove motorcycle naked at lake Travis near Austin.

Jammed with Stevie Ray at the Rome Inn ,Played with George Underwood and the Dukes ,Wholy Katz(know where Pasha is?),The Last Gash Wine Circus,Toad,Roy Coyote,Clarence Clemons at the Armadilla World H.Q. with Steam Heat ,jammed with the old members of Point Blank ( insert sad story of record label ripoff),Jim Dandy,Rocky Athas,opened for Georgia Satalites,John Mayall ,Jeff Healey,jammed with at Freddie King at Mother Blues in Dallas. Played in Johnny Taylor's band,jammed with Bugs Henderson, the Stratoblasters,Hash Brown[in Dallas],I have lived under a staircase,and in a goat shed,slept in lots of goodwill boxs,but their hard to find now. I love to play the blues and trying to play jazz,hope to learn more. Have played rock ,country ,reggae ,and funk in bands. I live in the country 50 miles outside of Dallas , Texas. Peace Out!

Have you ever been to court? What happened when you were there?
bibiana:
traffic court. it was shameful. they call u up in front of the judge, & behind u r all the ppl waiting 2 be seen. they get 2 witness ur business
navraaz:
I went to court because this jerk public officer kept giving me piddly tickets ($25) for an expired license plate sticker. I had renewed it on time but I had just moved and the Secretary of State failed to notice my address change and sent the sticker to the old address. So it got lost in snail mail and I explained this to the cop-who didn't care. When we got to court the judge asked him if he knew of the circumstances and then shook his head while he told me to leave and the cop to stay.
navraaz:
All the tickets were excused.
