"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

"Joy, sorrow, tears, lamentation, laughter -- to all these music gives voice, but in such a way that we are transported from the world of unrest to a world of peace, and see reality in a new way, as if we were sitting by a mountain lake and contemplating hills and woods and clouds in the tranquil and fathomless water." *Albert Schweitzer
Wanda Lavonne Jackson (born October 20, 1937) is an American singer and guitarist who had success in the mid-1950s and 60s as one of the first popular female rockabilly singers and a pioneering rock and roll artist. She is known to many as the The First Lady or Queen of Rockabilly. Jackson mixed country music with fast-moving rockabilly, often recording them on opposite sides of a record. As rockabilly declined in popularity in the mid-1960s, she moved to a successful career in mainstream country. In 1955, Jackson briefly dated Elvis Presley while on tour with him. She has enjoyed a resurgence of popularity among rockabilly revivalists in Europe, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as an Early Influence on April 4, 2009.

1966 Harley-Davidson Custom My one and only TRUE love for decades,though it no longer is the original bike, and has many changes over the years.
1981 BMW 1981 BMW R65
A very sweet 650cc,short wheelbase airhead BMW. This is the first year, with dual front brake. They did a few changes to cut production costs the years after this, so this is the best of the R65s. I have ridden it a lot because it has an electric starter, and because of disabilities I could not any longer after decades kick over the ol' harley. Now I have the 76, with e start, which loves the wide open road, but the R65 doesn't mind the city commute traffic, so it is my workhorse
1976 Harley-Davidson Shovelhead Custom I've decided front& rear disc brakes, working speedometer, horn, an electric starter are some things I am going have for a change. My injuries will not let me kick start the old shovel. Eventually I'll add e start to '66, but this '76 sang to me! Need more carry capacity to live on it and travel. Bigger bags, etc. This sweet shovelhead called to me deep in the depths of my soul, and I disregarded much advice to buy a 'dependable newer' model. Rather push a shovel than ride anything else!
