A Bit about Me

"Just the facts, ma’am." Okay, even though I ain’t a ma’am.

I was born in 1955 in the city of Shreveport, Louisiana. I lived in and around that area for a good part of my life, but later moved eastward to the Monroe/West Monroe area. If someone had told me I’d first live in Wales, (for less than a year), then in Germany, I’d have claimed that someone was crazy. Joke on me, huh. I’m waiting for my permanent residency to be approved, so living on visa renewals at the moment here in Munich.

I’m very happily married! This is my fourth, and last marriage, no matter how it turns out.

I spent a lot of my life looking for work in the music business, finding work on and off in that field and tuning pianos. I thought I might want to rebuild them and went to school for that in Talladega, Alabama, but nothing ever came of the rebuilding part, except that I rebuilt one, with a lot of help from a friend in Shreveport.

I find myself now a has-been musician, a has-been computer programmer, and of course a has-been piano tuner, since I no longer have any tools of that trade.

When I did computer programming, I did it on non-IBM-compatible machines, the Texas Instruments 99/4A and the Radio Shack Color computers 2 and 3. All those machines had BASIC built in so that’s what language I wrote my programs in.

Okay, I think I’ve rambled on long enough about myself.

  1. That’s very cool. I’ve never used clango. I just hope Elten doesn’t shut down eather. Given that I’ve had some bumpey roads with it, I hope it doesn’t shut down. I’m happy I got the pleasure of meeting new people like you. Well, I wouldn’t consiter George new, but still. And I like the blogs sometimes better than the fourms although some forum threds can be good. They do have good topics sometimes. All though there’s this user on this platform( Mark) who I’ve found not to be a good person. And George might agree with this. But I’m always kind no matter who said what when and where.

  2. @ George wu, I’m not trying to take him from you or anything, it’s just that his blog topics sound very interesting. I’m sorry if I am though. I hope you arn’t mad at me or something like that. If you are George, you and I can talk about it in a Pm. I’m getting to know some people on this program. I hope I’m not being rood. I’m sorry if I am. It’s just that his topics got me intrested.

  3. Hi. It’s Landon. Nice introduction. I was wondering if we could become elten friends? I also know George wu, and I was his / am his friend long before I got this computer. I also like music and I have a music keyboard, don’t ask me what brand it is because I don’t know. I started useing elten since 2 or thre weeks ago, and I’ve started getting used to the layout of this program. I speek very good english, but I can have spelling trubble sometimes. But I can’t get the premium packs so I can check my spelling. But if you don’t want to become elten friends thats fine too, I won’t be hurt.
