Last move 2h 4m Bio
I retired as faculty at Texas State University in San Marcos, TX, in the School of Music in the summer of 2020. I'm an active free lance jazz pianist/vocalist and amateur watercolor painter. I've moved to Shodo and Sumi-e instead of watercolor. All water based, but very different techniques.
Played chess in high school when Bobby Fischer was hot. Haven't played much since then. I got back into it in November of 2011.
My wife, Beverly, died in July of 2022. We were together 36 years, married for 28. Loved her madly. I have 3 cats and a dog (as of Jan. 2023).
