The name Cowboy Junkie is from the band (see the picture). It also works because I am a Dallas Cowboy fan. Bob Dylan is the greatest American songwriter ever...followed closely by Townes Van Zandt...other folks that are on my iPod right now are: Todd Snider, Ryan Adams, Adele, Thea Gilmore, Kasey Chambers and of course the Cowboy Junkies.
I have been playing chess forever...I pretty much enjoy reading anything about chess. Chess history, game compliations, stategies...anything by Jeremy Silman...I have bought them all. It has not made me a great chess player but it sure is fun. Besides chess books...I enjoy reading history, biography and the occasional novel. "Killing Floor" by Lee Childs will hook you into a 16 book series. I just finished "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" (really good) and am currently reading "In the Garden of the Beast" by Erik Larsen which is a very interesting history the family of the US Ambassador to Germany during Hitler's rise to power.
I have been a member of quite a few sites and Chess.com has everything I could want: videos, Chess Mentor, the Tactics Trainer are my favorites...as well as on-line and live games. It is all good.
If you are still reading this...I do not know why...but hopefully you will find a band to enjoy or book to read. One last thing...for my American friends...Please vote to re-elect President Obama. He has gotten us turned around in the country and the world...we really need to keep it going.
God Bless
