| I
was born on Easter Sunday, March 29, 1948, Texas. I´m not the supertitious
type so I don´t give the Easter date any special significance. I don´t
see myself as the saviour of the rock-n-roll or anything like that. I do
know that my birthday falls on Easter agin in 2043 and hope between now
and then to write some memorable songs and to entertain the multitudes.
There isn´t much of interest to say about myself. I grew up in Pauls Valley, a small town in Oklahoma. Listening to the radio, driving around in Daddy´s car, falling in love, and listening to the radio. I left home when I was seventeen. Army, marriage, divorce - the usual mixture of stupidity, glory and bad habits. The last 20 years or so, I spent as a furniture mover, songwriter and band leader. There have been some good times and some bad times and a few times I lost the faith, but I´m still a true believer in the power of music. Rock-n-roll is my religion. It´s all I know. |
