Q2: I noticed a lot of
seriousness in your writings. Especially in your heart felt, and your
music. Are you a depressed person?
No not depressed, but Yes serious. I guess it has to do with what was going on
as I was growing up. I was born 95 days after WW II began. So the times
in themself were somber. Since my birthday is December 5th, the bombing
of Pear Harbor on Sunday December 7th, may have happened while the
family was celebrating my 2nd birthday. In either case we were at war.
Whereas my brother had 3 years of living in a non-war environment, I had
none until I was 5 and 1/2 years. And maybe since I was the 7th
grandchild of my maternal grandmother, and whereas my brother was
the first grandchild and got a lot of attention. By the time I came
along it was old hat to have a grandchild and I got very little
attention. So again times were different. Not a whole lot of
laughter going on during war time.
