| Introduction | I am on the shady side of 50; married to my college sweetheart (together since Feb '78) since June 1982. I am a native of western New England; born near Springfield, Massachusetts to a blue-collar family: Russian, German, Baltic, French Canadian, Amerind & Irish on my dad's side, Italian on my mom's. I was raised in the Roman Catholic religion, which didn't really take hold. I gave up the Church in 1975 & left Christianity over the course of the next few years. Found my True Faith in mid 1989, learned there were others that believed & gave worship the same as me a few years later. From these first contacts, I have been a member and supporter of the Asatru Folk Assembly ever since. I am noted as a very good poet in my faith community. |

You've written a hit musical! How will you avoid having fame go to your head?
By remembering something I have written of as a poet; no writer or composer is worth anything without those who read, or listen to, his works.
