Just a place for my thoughts

I have HAD it

So.
I have been saying how much I like to sing with the Chorus.

That is true.

I never thought, in my whole life that I would be a world champion of anything.

That all changed one Saturday afternoon in July of 1992.

The only person that I have ever called my hero, besides my Dad,
was my first chorus director.

Jim Miller ( chorus director) is someone that I consider larger than life

I have sang in Carnegie Hall, the Chicago Theater, The Superdome, Cincinnnati Music Hall, The Calgary Saddle Dome, The San Francisco Cow Palace, The Miami Convention Center, Freedom Hall in Louisville, The Portland Arena, The Montreal Convention Center, and I don't know how many school auditoriums.

Last night, I went to rehearsal, and parked on the same street I have parked for 10 years











This morning I walked around my truck and saw the scratch

It went from the right rear turn signal

all the way up to the middle of the right hand passenger door

It was done with a knife or something else sharp

It was done on purpose

By one of the people that live in the neighborhood

One of the same people

That attended the free concert

that the chorus put on

in the heat

during the summer

with all the bugs

and the stink from the factories

for free












I wrote the chorus board a letter

telling them that I was leaving after October 15th

Telling them that I was not coming back

until they moved away from a neighborhood

where members cars get broken into

where members cars get vandalized

where members get held up at gun point










I told them that the trailer that I haul and store for free had to be moved

I told them that my son, who had busted his ass to get good grades

so that he could join the chorus

would not be coming

because I could not risk harm to him











I told them this today at noon












Its 10:30













Nobody has written back












Revised cause I was a hot head......












I need a new name



Me" will do
