about me

This was a trip my brother and I took this past September.

This is my very most favorite Great Granddaughter "Super Girl"

I am sending a few messages out and wanted to give anyone a chance to view a profile more in depth. And to post a few recent pictures.

Profile

I love my home

I am a retired carpenter.... Have done a lot of interesting things in my life.

Worked in broadcasting in  the 60s and 70s, worked as a telephone lineman for Illinois Bell, as a television analyzer, union and non union carpenter, retired from carpenter's local 1 in Chicago. In more recent years I worked part time as a pick up and delivery guy for a local motorcycle shop. I am a songwriter and musician and still spend a great deal of my time on my music. I love my Ultra Classic but don't know how many more years I will be able to handle that big machine. Sad but "a time for every purpose under heaven". 

 

These good years I do have, I would enjoy spending with someone special.

I have been so very blessed in my lifetime. Though I have been divorced for 25 years, I still have good relations and am friends with my ex wife and I have been able to enjoy she and her husband's fellowship at family get togethers. I guess I always thought that God would bring that someone special into my life. I have always refused to date anyone younger than my children. The oldest is now 49.  It is not getting any easier.

I did spend a year in Nashville and tried to get something going with my music. I have never really stopped trying but I guess the Lord is not ready for that either. You can check out some of my more recent videos on YouTube.    Johnny B       

On the other hand maybe she has been there all the time and I have been too stupid to see, so open the eyes of my heart Lord. 

I really love life and am a Born again, spirit filled believer. And, if the Lord continues to bless and we aren't taken, I may be able to enjoy another twenty or thirty years. It would be great if there was someone I loved close, and able to share all the travel, all the plays and shows, all the time with grandchildren and great grandchildren and friends. 

Guess that's all I have to say for now....Hope you find me and look forward to your comments.
