A Knight in Tarnished Armor

A Knight in Tarnished Armor is a collection of memoirs, song lyrics, and poems. It spans over 5 decades and is a representation of my life story. Many people throughout my life have told me that I should write a book and well this is it. It was next to impossible to recall all the dates so this book is in alphabetical order rather than chronological. The two longest poems I ever wrote are on pg.78 and 102 where this one was produced as a song.
My first worldwide publication is on pg.37 as it was published in the Alcoholics Anonymous Grapevine monthly magazine both nationally and in many other countries and languages around the world. The poem on pg.134 won a prestigious Emily Dickenson National Society of Poetry award.
The song "Ready for War" right after the Dedication at the opening of this book was written, recorded, and produced on YouTube by Ean Leppin who is my general manager at the radio station where I work. I hope you find something of value for yourself on the pages within!
