Introduction I'm an Abraham Lincoln impersonator who very much enjoys performing, especially back in February of '09, the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth on 2/12/1809 near present-day Hodgenville, Kentucky, where literally hundreds of "our kind of emancipator" attended.
Interests Reading The Nation regularly, and reading aloud to my wife, Nancy, notably Michael Connelly, Barbara Kingsolver and Anna Quindlen books; singing and playing guitar accompaniment for my repertoire, especially my Gainesville "gig"; biking to the beach in Ormond Beach and for errands in Jacksonville; horticulture/agriculture; and caring for my aged mother.
