I was born in Kentucky and grew up on a farm where we had no indoor plumbing but lots of tobacco and cows. It was a great way to grow up, but I hungered for something more. I went off to college, majored in theatre and pursued a career acting in regional theatre, off-off Broadway theatre and independent film. After living for forty years in New Jersey, I found myself returning to my roots and writing songs influenced by much of the music I heard as a kid. The songs are a little country, a little folk, but really hard to place in any one category. I've been married for forty years (to the same woman...!), I'm a damn good cook, and I like long walks on the beach.

Baby Epoch	11/3/2021 12:25:59 PM Five stars since it's a beautiful baby girl overalls outfit dress, but I'm taking off three for false advertising. The sizes are not a sliding scale. The dress I ordered was for 12-18 months of age, the dress I got was 18months. Techically the dress can be put on children between 12-18 months old, but they will swim in it. My daughter is 13 months old, 12 month clothing on her is a be it snug since she is in the 60%, but I wouldn't have purchased a 18month size dress and expected her to fit in it. When something is advertised as a sliding scale, I expected it to be a little big, but not this. Unfortunately I didn't not see the tag until I had cut the barb off the hanger, so I am not sure I am going to be able to return it.
