I'm a Hillsborough, NC native, now living in Greensboro, NC. My Mom taught me to play the organ in '67, after putting an acoustic guitar in my hands two yrs earlier. She gave me Shirley Caesar's "I'll Go" LP, stating that I'd work for her. Well, three yrs later, it happened just like she said, giving me all this wonderful info and life to write about. "Gifted" is my next book title of my memoirs up to '17 showcasing the wonderful ups and downs of my life. My music genre is "smooth jazz", giving me many new stories to share and there will even be a third writing after "Gifted". I love my life and the heartfelt music that fills my life.
