Early education Roman Catholic College-prep, Roncally High class of 1969, with triple distinction in National Forensic Lerague. B.A.Theatre University of Wyoming 1975 - Outstanding Theatre Senior, and "Who's Who Among American Universities and Colleges." MFA Tech.Theatre:emphasis scenic design, UNC,Chapel Hill 1983. Roman Catholic, Judeo-Christian Bhuddist. Occupations:professor of theatre, actor, singer, composer, lyricist, playwright of full length adult, and children's plays - with original music - & free-lance writer. My professional renaissance occurs in September of life. Singing and music composition extends to original sacred music and works for children. Vocal expertise - more than a decade of private training and choirs. Musical comedy and Catholic music both fortes. Can do Sinatra like the "chairman of the board" himself. Many years divorced & available, distinctly heterosexual by choice. My origin entirely Italian: Siciliano, Molisane, Napolitano in province of Salerno. I've traced both sides of my family genealogy to the early 1700s through civil records. Gourmet cook and lover of wines. Unabashed Democrat and liberal - but fiscally conservative. My childhood replete with negative memories of Republican administrations, under Eisenhower. Reagan, & both Bushes. I.E., like Nero, they fiddled while Rome burned; while railroaders suffered Dwight golfed, and whn Tricky Dicky screwed with my National Defense loan I carried a 4.0 at C.U., Boulder. My family elders replete with union men & railroaders.burned. Eisenhower golfed,tricky Dick lied, Reagan Trickled down - we suffered! Now devout Roman Catholic, Judeo-Christian Bhuddist. Still single, loving the ladies, I believe in offering well deserved gratuitous compliments as a gentleman. By nature a romantic, I believe in love at first sight, having wisdom enough now to know that "falling in love" is not so easy as "standing in love!" People find me amiable, cheerful, and gracious by nature, welcoming kindred souls to my life - particularly those involved in writing, songwriting, and many different arts. Having adapted many Neapolitan Italian songs into quite singable English versions, I believe in faithfully elucidating, not changing, the original meaning of each opus. My beliefs are such that I consider some of us,whether by God's mysterious direction or karmic choice, are put on this earth to bring joy and truth, as well as fight for right, not just for one's self, but for ALL people - particularly the downtrodden. Folks interested in cuisine, history, genealogy, languages, heraldry, singing...will find in my presence warm,affable, and a safe port. I trust each person met, unless experience proves that vain. Among my favorite affirmations: "I have all that I need to be happy;"What goes around DEFINITELY comes around!;"We are each seeking a path of return to God however we conceive Deity." Personal mantra: "Have a care, my dear friend, what you think, what you say, what you do every day - you become!" Online, or in person you will find me agreeable but demanding of truth. Free will, and a study of many philosophies and religions leads me to the conclusion that all people are brothers and sisters, and the golden rule applies with respect to ALL honest creeds. Mere quantitative, scientific proof is fine, but experiential meaning also figures deeply in self identity.
