I have been to Sturgis Rally 26 different years... guess you could say I am also a Sturgis veteran... Buffalo Chip Campground is where you will find me.
On a recent trip to the Black Hills, I had the opportunity to catch up on my hobby of taking some wildlife pictures. Some of the results are in my Wildlife Album.
Music
Jimmy Buffett(Yeah, I'm an old Parrothead); George Thorogood and the Destroyers; Janis Joplin; Lynyrd Skynyrd; Bob Seger; The Eagles; Jackson Browne; Eric Clapton; Allman Brothers and many others. Look at my tracks... there are lots of oldies (I have been listening to music for 50+ years)I have saved some songs that are really old... wanted to save them because the artists are dying off.
Idols
Kris Kristofferson... just because I like the words in the songs he writes. He sure cannot sing, but writes good songs. Kris was an All American Football player, a Rhodes Scholar, an Army Green Beret, and a drunk. He got his first song published by landing a National Guard helicopter in Johnny Cash's backyard and asking him to perform his song.
