Writing Life

A periodic record of thoughts and life as these happen via the various roles I play: individual, husband, father, grandfather, son, brother (brother-in-law), writer, university professor and others.

I was born on Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter, South Carolina, then lived a while in Fayetteville, North Carolina, before moving, at the age of 5, to Walnut, NC. I graduated from Madison High School in 1977. After a brief time in college, I spent the most of the 1980s in Nashville, Tennessee, working as a songwriter and playing in a band. I spent most of the 1990s in school and now teach at a university in Tennessee. My household includes wife and son and cat. In South Carolina I have a son, daughter-in-law and two granddaughters.

Accidentally Cool



I took this picture while at the Titans/Jets game in Nashville this past Sunday. As you can see, it's just about dark. The view is the portion of the skyline visible above the opposite side of the stadium. My intention was simply to catch part of that skyline that used to thrill me so much when I lived in Nashville as felt so certain that I would be rich and famous. (That's another story, of course.) Through the viewfinder, I didn't see the man silhouetted against the sky between buildings. I think it's cool that he's there, even though his appearance in my picture was completely by accident.

While in Nashville this trip, my friend jb and I talked a little about a man we used to work with--one of the most confusing and confounding individuals I've ever run across in my life. I'm getting worked up to blog about those days. I've already written about the early experiences with the White Water Band; now I think I ought to go into the "professional" years a bit. We'll see.
