I am William P. Homans, aka the bluesman Watermelon Slim. One thing people should do right quick, so that you don't have any notion to think the improbably outside-the-box accounts you're going to hear from me are the devices of some internet spoofer, or even worse, that my entire personality is some creative and mischievous poster's sock puppet, is visit my website, www.watermelonslim.com. I wear a lot of hats-- political activist, revolutionary, historian, comparative theologian, career truckdriver and grunt laborer, psychedelics pioneer, athlete, artist-- but I'm sure more people know me as a musician than any other way. Sex, politics, religion-- I have no inhibitions about talking about anything. WPH from MS
I'm wondering how many mods went running off to check your IP address after reading this. I'm liking your website.
Commando. Except for thermals or long johns in the coldest part of winter, I haven't worn underwear since 1970, when I left the Army. Have you read Blue Horizon, from where the term Shangri-La came? A touching and entertaining book, wish I still had my highschool copy. WPH from MS
Oh, right you are, "Lost" Horizon. High school was a long time ago. But the book itself was moving, significant. WPH from MS
Welcome aboard! BTW - I liked your video about Tar Creek. I've been through Picher many times, and I've always thought there was something amiss there, but never knew the story.
