The name Cowboy Junkie is from the band Cowboy Junkies. Other folks that are on my iPod right now are: Billie Eilish, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Thea Gilmore, Suzanne Vega and Justin Townes Earle. I have been playing chess forever...and 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 19 book series. I just finished "Soul of America" by Jon Meacham (really interesting look at the historical and present forces against equality in America. One last thing...for my American friends...Joe Biden....thank God!!!
