Read the first chapter Create your own banner at mybannermaker.com!
When I graduated from college, I moved from Ohio to California on my bicycle. That mythical journey set me up for the rest of my life. I discovered that my limitations were in exact proportion to my imagination. And so, I'm on to the next evolution- from my little red bike, to the little red bus. I wrote a novel and soundtrack about that bike adventure, published it, bought a 1970 VW Bus where I'm living and touring to spread the possibilities of a life without barriers. If you want me to cruise by and play for you - by all means, drop me a line! I hope my happy ramblings bring me to a town near you. Palka 4 President! p.s. ~~~ If you dig on what I'm doing, please add me as a friend. I'd love to hear from you.
