# Elder Watchman

Sewell, NJ 

Old guy who was unofficially writing lyrics as a kid growing up on the streets of Philadelphia. From witnessing and experiencing so many tragedies in my life, I have hung in there and have a most amazing life, one that I'm blessed to have...more than I'll ever deserve.
