Shannon's Biography

Here's a little stuff on me.

I moved to Oregon from Oklahoma in August of 1974 and have never wanted to live anywhere else.
What a great place Oregon is! The Pacific Northwest is "God's Country".

I LOVE Rock and Roll! I believe that Rock and Roll is meant to be played LOUD.
I've been on the radio since I was 14 years old, and...let's just say I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, when it happened. ;~P

My musical interests are extremely diverse. I like everything from Sinatra to Metallica, Joni Mitchell to Anita Baker and
I like Country music. Sorry, but I think that Rap, as a whole, is not music! Rush, Van Hagar, Aerosmith, AC-DC, Cream, The Allman Bros., "Early" Kinks, and Steely Dan are huge favorites. (if I listed all my favorites, we'd be here all day). ;>)

Led Zeppelin's first album is still my favorite album of all time. My favorite Beatles album is "Revolver". Bob Dylan, "Blood on the Tracks"..Cream, "Disraeli Gears"...The Who, "Who's Next".....Jimi Hendrix , "Electric Ladyland"...ok, I need to stop this right here! ;^D
I can get lost in the Blues, I collect shot glasses, Rock and Roll posters, and have quite a few Sun/Moon things around the house. My youngest son, Hank (16), since the age of 2, has claimed that I am the Sun and he is the Moon (never did find out why he felt that way) but it turned into a "thing". My son Jesse (21) says he's the Clouds (because he drifts in and out of our lives) I think of him as the Northern Star. Don't know where I'd be without my boys.

I am a Sagittarius/Metal Tiger. Libra Moon, Virgo rising. I was born on a Monday, just after Midnight, on December 4th, and.. I believe in God. I'm a single parent, and that is my #1 priority.

I own a motorcycle I call "Raven", and I ride as often as I can. I don't consider myself a 'biker' per se, I just Love to ride......
been riding almost all my life. It's Zen like! A fellow rider put it like this: "A ride on a Summer afternoon can border on the rapturous. The sheer volume and variety of stimuli is like a bath for the nervous system, an electrical massage for the brain, a systems check for the soul". A motorcycle is a joy machine. A machine of wonders, a metal bird, a motorized prosthetic.
True story! A couple of hours out on my bike clears my mind and lifts my spirits. And, it's not what you ride, it's that you ride! 8~)

I'm a pretty open minded individual. I don't care what color you are, your race, or your sexual preference!
I really do subscribe to the truth that you are a "Child of the Universe and you have a right to be here". (from Desiderata)
I believe that Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, and, you should be able to do whatever you want, as long as
it doesn't hurt or inconvenience anyone other than yourself.

I don't know everything and I never will!

I'm computer literate, I play guitar, enjoy a good game of Cribbage, and Batman was my favorite comic book as a kid.
I'm basically a t-shirt/Levi's guy. Chuck Taylor All-Star High Tops, IMHO, are still the best tennis shoes made. I like
photography, I Love NFL Football, firing up my Weber, and a frosty cold Widmer Hefeweizen!
Portland is the "Microbrew Capital of the World" ya' know. ;) I don't understand this 'reality show' thing (IMVHO, reality
shows aren't anywhere close to reality). Odd man out I guess. :`p But, I do Love a good Dean Koontz book! :-)

I'm Honest, Silly, Irreverent, Sincere, Politically Incorrect and believe a man should always hold on to his "Child Heart".

Now, did I mention I LOVE Rock and Roll?
