Like petals in the wind

Landing where we may

A part of the landscape

Through our remaining years

Counting the minutes 

Waiting for the inevitable tomorrow 

That ushers us into the light

Music. My Life Long Friend!

It was time to write again and I guess this will continue my current trend of introspective posts. This time I will dive into music and how it has had an impact on my life. It has been entertainment, a friend, an escape, and more.  The only way for someone to fully understand is for me to start from the beginning.

The 80's Part 2

The 80’s Part 2 A Lifetime In 7 Years It is back to writing again.  I left off at Robins Air Force Base in Warner Robins Georgia.  As I stated it was my new family.

I believe it was around the first week of February 1983 that I started mobility training, more commonly called Mob School.  I had just finished a day of first-aid training when I got notice that I was to report for a mandatory briefing from The White House Communications Agency (from here on out referred to as WHCA for brevity).  Well, to bypass the complexities of the process, I was on my way to the Washington DC area as the newest Audio Visual Tech in WHCA, by the end of May. The training was fast and furious. Within a week I was pinning a microphone on President Ronal Reagan for a tapin...
