{geni:about_me} I am a graphic designer and songwriter. The graphic design pays most of the bills. My songs are funny stories about everyday life. I am also the full time caregiver for my wife Kathy who has Huntington's Disease, agenetic disease of the brain (Woody Guthrie suffered from it.) When my parents passed away I volunteered to scan all of the old photos and papers so that my family could have them too. But I realized I know next to nothing aboutmy father's side (Austrian) and we are just starting to figure out my mother's side (Sicily). I am a total beginner at this but it is pretty addictive.
