I was born in the wild, wild wests of West Texas. My mother had been 1/2 of a country swing duo called the Myers Sisters and my father was a heat exchange engineer - this could account for the fact that in addition to being a musician, I also work as a high level machinist as well......................
Long time musician, playing everything from funk to country, using 6-string guitar,bass and keyboards, currently working on mastering the kazoo... Done some session work, production and been in more garage and professional bands than one would care to think about.....Came close several times to breaking big - but was a big achoholic at the time and turned out I was my own worst enemy (pay attention all you boozing musicians out there, drinking does NOT always make things better! Trust me on this...). Last band I was in was a little band called Jones Valley out of Big Spring, TX.
Currently just writing, writing, writing !
JEFFERSON, ....Texas.... (March 9, 2009) Rick Moran, Coordinator and Chairman of the Board of the A.S.U.P, Inc. (The Association for the Study of Unexplained Phenomenon) a 35 year old paranormal field research organization, has confirmed that The Pride House of Jefferson, Texas, a bed and breakfast, is in fact, a haunted location.
A team of researchers from the A.S.U.P, Inc. , who is a T.A.P.S. affiliate, was invited to conduct an overnight investigation of the Pride House by current owner, Jenny Lovelace-Elliott. Mrs. Elliott, who has recently purchased The Pride House, began to notice strange occurrences in the house shortly after she began renovating the property for the bed and breakfast.

On April 25, 2009, beginning at 4 p.m., Mr. Moran will be giving a FREE presentation at The Pride House explaining the recent investigation by the A.S.U.P., Inc. A plaque will be presented to Mrs. Elliott confirming the haunted status of The Pride House, along with a copy of the now famous photo of the ghost on the staircase.
The Pride House will be hosting a wine and cheese event during the presentation for a donation of $5. 00, if one wishes to have a glass of wine. However, the A.S.U.P., Inc. presentation itself is FREE, and Rick will be on hand to answer any questions anyone might have about unexplained phenomenon and his long career as an investigator.
