I have been a musician since the Beatles first appeared on Ed Sullivan in February 1964.
I have been working in Stained Glass since the mid 80's.
I have been a metalsmith since 1999.
On our refrigerator, my wife put up a magnet which reads: "I Do Many Things Well - None of Which Generate Income". Like a lot of folks, I had to find real work when I got out of college to support my hobbies.
I have been retired since 2000 and have never lacked for activities to keep my body and mind busy.
