..Native American Legend the "Cosmic Buffalo"
In any case the facts are these: Born 7/15/57 @ Providence Hosp. which since has been closed, in Washington D.C. I weighed exactly 7lbs 15oz something I find just a bit unnerving. My Father who passed @ 91 was a good friend, known as Bud to his friends, being from Maine,he was a Mainiac; this explains things to a point. Madeline my Mother has no moved on to become part of another dimension, she lived a righteous life and kept friends for a long lifetime, Gob Bless and keep you old girl.. Wheaton is the slice of suburbia I gathered lightning bugs, comics, 8 serious head injuries and an itching to ramble at the ripe age of 16 and so I did. Koolpop and the Groovemasters in Las Vegas. "Cosmic Buffalo" backup band in 06".
With Mr. Taj Mahal in 07' @ Harmony Festival in Sonoma CA.

I am the result of generations of melting in the pot which is America. Ingredients include those that we truly know of and without a doubt too many too count that will remain obscure to all, even myself. The ones that I am sure of: English, Irish,
Welsh, French and Choktaw. Inside I have always believed it would be fitting to add extraterrestrial to that mix as I feel more and more unconnected to this manner of man that has been evolving; especially since before way before the end of WWII.
Still in high school I developed an alias, convinced a landlord at a boarding house that I was a college student hailing from Beloit Wisconsin, here to work as a congressional page ( hahaha ). Splitting time between 2 high schools after being selected by the Montgomery County Public School systems administration to be a charter member of the Art class. A single student from each high school in the MCPS system to participate. I was so honored by that and surprised that I was selected, I was in Nirvana....except for all the schlepping, oih!!
Feeling the Harmonic Waves of the Cosmos.
If you are raised within a stones throw of the capitol city than you cannot resist the vortex of politics. I myself believe that contemporary citizens have traded a level of comfort by giving all control to those that would never even be considered appropriate in that capacity. My stock in this constitution government is person, see we have a patriot in the family lineage and he joined the congressional continental army @ 16 ( weird huh )and fought beginning in Virginia all the way up to Vermont as an infantryman and survived getting a medal for his service on the state department steps in 1806.
Well I may be in the beginning stages of Altzhiemers, but, I haven't forgotten that the founding fathers that composited so many governing ideas from Rome and Europe in the making of the constitution. I bet most of you didn't know that Jefferson and Madison spent a great deal of time with the Iriqouis Nation and most of the document that deals with the inalieable right that ever human being be born and live in liberty and freedom with justice for protection from false allegations and pursecutions. Each citizen had a right to privacy and right to face his accusers in front his peers. I also remember that the founding fathers and many settlers traveled here to escape the oppressive form of government which was England. And the main source of conflict with that government was the merger of church and the state.
Now some may call me an liberal and they would be correct. Problem is nobody takes the time to read the definition of a liberal so it's been made out to be a bad thing. Most of our founding fathers were,"Liberal" and I can guarantee that what many believe to be God is about as liberal as it gets. I would strongly urge everyone to demand a government that actually represents the majorities will and not that of a few unbalanced crazies with ideas of global domination .
I don't understand how anyone could believe anything after his lips start moving

Growing up in the Bay area put this gifted musician a seat in the front row when the Summer of love in 67 came along. Lead guitar, slide guitar, lap steel, vocals & harmonies. From a long career with "Kidd Affrika" some 15 years to 17 years with the "Sundogs" T.J. is not only very nice but extremely skillful and talented with his guitar and the recording command center. He does an incredible job engineering our sound, big thanks to him for that.Josh Felner.
- Drummer with major Jazz roots and good ear and well placed accents. Josh has terrific instincts and uses them to lay nice gingerbread licks in the sweet spot of any track. His skills will be needed with the new material we are putting down.Craig Juan. ..

my corgi's Arrow and Beaux, smart and good looking too, short good-byes & long hellos, lot's of groovy stuff. friendly people - beautiful women with bread and wine - everytime some self righteous jackass is exposed for being the extreme opposite of their own policies, that's a riot! - creating a self-perpetuating engine for not only creative expression in multi-media, but also to be able to offer an alternate way of making a living that is outside the hamster cage and in a compellingly comfortable and welcome environment where your happiness create the income one needs to live. ancient cultures - old things and old people - native american culture above all - learning about all unfamiliar cultures and customs - doing the detective work on americas shadowy past, it's involvment with bloody coups and cultural genocide (killing fields) - artists with manic depression - mystics and shamans - car models - comic books - cool pictures and black lights.

no i haven't suffered much from being shy in any way, when i was an electrician i had a partner once working with me that was impressed that i could sing just about any song he mentioned, for a line or two anyway. so this became somewhat of a running game among my crew and others too. it wasn't uncommon to hear, hey paul i bet you don't know....so and so. i would pause sometimes just for the effect, and when they'd get excited and talk smack inevitably that person would use the magic words,"I bet you so and so. suddenly my memory was in focus and it all came back to me. they would howl with disappointment. good times.
