His life, his interests, his sometimes quirky frame of mind in words and pictures. A flyover of my life.

Song of the Day: "Auntie Aviator" by John and Beverley Martyn
In the fall of 1973, I found The Road to Ruin in a bargain bin -- for 49 cents!! -- at a K-Mart in Etna, a grimy suburb of Pittsburgh. I had a vague memory of hearing "Auntie Aviator" on the radio in college a few years earlier, John Martyn's haunting, sinuous guitar work finding a comfortable place to curl up inside my head. It's a song I never tire of hearing.
