Long ago and far away (75-79 Japan,Texas,Mass and SoCarolina) I was a ditty-bopper. We "intercepted" foreign (morse code) military communication and thought we were extremely hot shit. I might never have joined facebook and ended up here except for some (one cuteie pie) old army buddies. (she's still a hottie btw)
Anyhow, this was our theme song. Unusual, kinda ? Worth sharing, you decide. (not so much)

In the late summer of '92 I found myself suddenly and gratefully employed. Hurricane Andrew had provided me with an opportunity to drive a truck. I drove a lot. He had also knocked out most of the radio stations in the area and the radio in the truck only got one station for most of the day. I got hooked on NPR. After a few weeks they moved the Radio Reading Service back to the "special" radio section and since I wasn't a blind truck driver I didn't get to listen without a "special" radio. (sigh)
I've got streaming audio and can download books and poetry all I want to now. I am still grateful for the exposure and was glad to find this source on the web. Check it out and see if your local station needs volunteers. (they do) And please - support your local NPR station.

Syntropia - Redemption

I was invited to compose music for an independent film about a woman hovering between life and death after a car crash. Strangely... tragically...my best friend, my ex-wife, was, at that time, in exactly the same situation. I certainly knew the music I wanted to write - but wasn't sure I would be able to do it...
