Interesting topic/discussion

Derick, I appreciate all of your encouragement.... sincerely.

I'm not a self horn blower though never have been... I am learning to shamelessly self promote though... that's what I had the business cards made for.... and I bought a cap and had my "I" will survive phrase embroidered on it... the cap is Royal Blue with safety orange letters.., as seen in this video



But... some self horn blowin...


The back story on that phrase, "I" will survive, ... it's the title to a book I wrote 12 years ago. The cover of the book is the logo, I personally designed and made up on s different lap top that I had access to some microsfoft software I no longer have use of, or knowledge of for that matter. I've used it in this forum as my avatar and on my you tube page still and my reverb account... I wrote it because my oldest son, and my lady friend from Kingwood (another fan of me music)told me I should write a book so, I did. When my son suggested I write it, I asked why, he replied; because you're the only person I know who espouses that philosophy... that philosophy being; "I"ndividual effort is what counts and is remembered. History proves it. Groups and entities soon morph, (no matter their original cause de jour),change direction and absorb and demand compliance to an "I"ndividuals beliefs/preferences, negating the "I"ndividuals right to choose... yet, without "I"ndividual effort (from individuals in the groups) there is no group... History proves it. It is the "I"ndividual who is remembered. The *group* is but a supporting cast... History proves it.

To that end, I wrote a book of my observations about where we are as a Country (society in general really) full of my observations, analysis and opinions on everything I could imagine that effects "I"ndividual effort.
