My backdrop is of City Park in New Orleans, LA that boast some of the most beautiful oaks in the country with its signature Spanish moss. I grew up in the city less than 2 miles from the French Quarter that in and of itself is quite an experience. Growing up there is a place where you inherit a love of music that becomes part of everything, life, death, celebrations of every kind conceivable. The great thing is that everybody has rhythm and to dance is to live and nobody would think of sitting when the music starts playing. I now live in Georgia and have for about twenty-two years, doing the whole southern thing, I love Georgia! It is a great state and has afforded my family and I some unbelievable opportunities. Things that I love to do are read, study history, talk politics, dance to the music, collect WWII items, comic book and music memorabilia.
