GREAT THREAD!!!

OK lets see what I can remember.

I'm 42years old and have never had a cavity or broken a bone. (not for lack of trying)
I palyed French Horn from 4th grade through 12th grade and was encouraged to apply to Juilliard.
I quit playing "The Horn" half way through 12th grade and have never picked one up since.

I'm the youngest of 5 children (dad calls me #5) and my parents thankfully got better at naming children by the time they got to me.
In order from oldest to youngest.
First an middle names.

Jonita Ione (my only sister) pronounced Joe-nitta I-own

Rockwell Lee

Monte Joe pronounced Mon T . If you said it any other way, mom would get upset.

Ron Allen (he got of easy too)

Last but not least.... me
Brady James.


My oldest two brothers hung me from a flag pole when I was six then got distracted by something else and forgot about me.
Some neighbors let me down about 5 hours later.
My parents were not amused.

Ron and I once burned down a drive in theatre screen while playing with fireworks. I was 7 he was 10.
We didnt tell my parents till last year.

speakergrrl this ones for you.....

I've been a professional commercial photographer for 22 years and have NEVER photographed a naked woman. I've had every opportunity and have come close to doing it but for whatever reason I just havent.
(Probably because I dont enjoy photographing people except on rare occassion.)
Other photographers I know DONT believe me.
I did however asst. on 4 different Playboy shoots.

I've also met more than my fare share of famous people. Some through work but mostly through total chance.

Ronald Reagan (1 of 5 people in the room with him for 3 hours)
Stevie Ray Vaughn (Drank beer with him after a show on our B-day... Oct.3rd 1985)
Kenny Loggins
All the band members of KISS (Partied with them on my 39th B-day...crazy crazy night)
Billy Gibbons (from ZZ Top)
