Opis

i was born in brooklyn, n.y. on april 8th 1952. truman was president. ever since I was a little boy I have been in love with books and storytelling. i loved to hear stories told. in my neighborhood ,the best stories were told by the older boys in the neighborhood or by drunken neighbors intent on dissing other drunken neighbors. the elderly were best. it was better than grade school. i was lucky enough in life to have a father who encouraged me to love words as he did, and, when I was a junior in high school, ateacher who helped me recognize the importance of cogent sentence structure and compelling content told well and spelt write! i live on long island, off the coast of new York. i am married tothe greatest woman who ever lived ( she made me write that ) andwe have three children to boot. we boot them at every opportunity.they deserve it. i struggled through three colleges : north country communitycollege in saranac lake, n.y., suny brockport n.y. and nassau communitycollege here on long island. i did not do well, but that is not to saythat i didnt learn anything during my stays there. knowledge is mostlypaying attention, anyway. i have been a singer/songwriter on long island since 1967 when i wasbut fifteen years old. i have been doing so ever since. im very proud of my songs and consider them to be children of mine. following my demise, i am to be cremated and my ashesscattered in upstate n.y. however, had i chosen to be buried in earthand they gave me a tombstone, this is what I would have liked theinscription on that tombstone to have read if it were to truly reflectmy personality ( as i view it ). here lies george francis palmer told a good story sang a good song got some right got some wrong
