One Man Mormon Blues Band
At night, when there is no moon, I am an amateur musician: mostly blues, folk,
singer-songwriter type of stuff, produced by my own company: Flaming Moth
Productions. So far I have recorded as the One Man Mormon Blues Band. However, when I recorded Mary Christmas, I used my real name. Seemed more respectful. My next release will hopefully be on Father's Day 2008.
By day I am a biology professor at a small liberal arts college in Grand Junction, CO where I have been for about 35 years. It is actually even more boring than that sounds as I was born in Grand Junction, and except for stints in the military (clear back in the 1960's) and umpteen years of higher education, I have lived within about a five mile radius of this school all my life.
In the early morning hours and evenings I am the father of four, grandfather of
13.5, and husband to a woman so beautiful that everyone thinks I am rich. I believe I qualify as a crotchety old man, logging in at 63 (like anyone is going to challenge for the position).
I am a convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints of 40 years now. (I joined while in the military. Nothing like
life-threatening experiences to make one grow up and be serious.) I am very
different than the man I once was. But I am not yet the man I can become.
