Welcome to Salem, Oregon

Welcome to Salem

I relocated to preserve my love, to Salem, Oregon. I had selected Salem as my destination because of a financial opportunity available to me in white collar management. Nathanial, Tabitha and Jaycie joined us in Salem. Albert, my former stepfather, helped by encouraging me to get back on my feet. Getting acquainted to my new business environment kept me from spending adequate time with my girlfriend. Already frustrated and unwilling to wait until I had a handle on things, three months after our arrival, she left. I further buried myself in my work.

Lock Your Doors

I was in fairly good shape. I had an income source and I had brought my album masters that were now ready for final pressing, plus scads of additional recording with which I could construct another 12 or 13 albums of original material. I was secure. I had also brought with me some professional recording equipment for continuing my work in the Salem area.
Then one day, I came home from work to an empty house. Someone had pulled-up to my home in broad daylight, with a moving truck, and taken ALL of my belongings...(even the dirty dishes that were in the sink). Nothing was left but the carpet, and that did not belong to me as I was renting. I had to drive to the 7-11 to phone the police, because they had taken the phone, too.

Forced Retirement

That forced me into musical and professional retirement. I had to readjust to the loss and rebuild a life again from scratch and the kids returned to Hoquiam. After a couple of years of mourning I was asked to play at a company party. It was not long, and the offers began to come in to play again. I appeared as often as I could and drew close once again to my music friends of the past (at least the ones that I was able to contact). I was feeling good about myself and started looking for romance, now that I felt worthy, like I had something good to give again. My son, Nathanial, and brother, Alex, came to Salem to join me in the adventure(s) that would follow.

When Harry Met Sally

If you've seen the movie...don't be too impressed...you must remember it's only a movie! I had this dear friend who was a woman. We were as close as I was with any of my guy-friends, maybe closer. I had dated some and quickly remembered how awful that was. (I kept thinking about that stupid movie.) So I asked my dear female friend-of-seven-years to marry me. After giving it some thought, she said, "yes" and we began our one year engagement. Then we had the most beautiful wedding. We decided to begin building a family right away and nine months later, Barin (whom we called, Barry) was born. This attempt to embrace the idea of creating the perfect family was also met with tragedy. We celebrated our first anniversary, then it was over (in the most horriffic manner) and self-servedly, Albert, topped it off by stabbing-me-in-the-back.
