In 1953 a space ship landed in place called Oakland, California.
I've been stuck on this planet ever since. In between working for a living as an engineer/manager in the disc drive industry, raising two daughters (adopted from Korea) with my lovely wife (from Holland) of 30 years I have written poems, short compositions and songs. In the late seventies I wanted to be a songwriter, even made a demo but I couldn't find anyone willing to trade their food for my songs. I look forward to exploring this site as I heard a rumor that hidden in this forum are directions back to me home planet.

Thanks folks. I found out about OTR on another forum sponsored by the Image Journal. The samples of their music I've heard are wonderful.
When I grow up I am going to write music just like that.:-)
