BIOGRAPHY

54 yo father of 3 adult children and spouse x 34 yrs. Raised in union family and Democrat for life. Political junkie, but not inspired to really get involved until Barack Obama arrived on the scene. Worked as Obama precinct captain during the recent TX dem primary. Love to read, write, sing and cook those Cajun recipes I brought with me from my hometown in south LA. I've been writing poems and lyrics for 40+ years, but have struggled in connecting w/ co-writer who can take my words and the crude melodies I hang them on and bring these songs to life (except for the one that my talented nephew, Steven Clawson, demo'd for me--God bless him!)
