I heard a news broadcast today and the reporter
stated that during the formal ceremony officially ending
US troops  in the country, no Iraqi government officials
were present.
 4K American soldiers lost their lives.
4 billion dollars spent.


I wish history had a rewind button . . .

December in da Lou.

recently returned from a brief visit.. ...
I am blessed to have a great partner / soulmate/ lover/ confidant

album on CD Baby .

late / early musings . . . .

tonight the reggae ruffins rocked the house ! joined by the m i g h t y  horn section
from Murder City Players for most of our second set, it was fat and sassy baritone sax
bone, and trumpet pumping up our sound ,adding many smiling faces to the packed house.
this was a great one. I will remember it .

N O V E M B E R 2011

. . . this weekend we turn back our clocks 1 hour. less daylight. bummer.

WORLD SERIOUS . . .

I love baseball. the game. the rules. the drama. I always have.
When I was around 8 yrs. old, I wanted to be a pro baseball player.
In the spring of 7th grade, my mom refused to let me play that summer
on the little league team I had played on for 4 yrs. due to the fact that my
gradepoint average was not up to snuff. (as they used to say) so. . . .
little Tommy Wood from Kirkwood  Mo. ended his dream of ever
playing baseball in the big leagues.

The Stl. Cardinal baseball team is currently playing in
The Fall Classic. I am happy for the team and our fair city !
I still want to play in the majors. 
in my mind, I am on that field.

Late October In St. Louis

World Series baseball begins tonight in my hometown . Thousands of fans will
brave the cold temps to watch their team play in the fall classic.
During this evening   north winds will produce windchill in the upper 30 's.
I will be working in a soulard bar , playing my original songs during game time
enjoying the baseball game on a flatscreen :out of the elements.
Excitement is in the air. Best of luck to the St. Louis Cardinals !
