For those of you who are
not aware, I am a retired Vietnam Era Helicopter Pilot. This past
Veterans Day (2011), me and my wife decided to visit Williamsburg. My
initial intentions were to visit the Wall in Washington, DC, but decided
it would be too strenuous due to health reasons. While there, I happened
to encounter a host of Old Vietnam Helicopter Pilots. I can not begin to
tell you how elated I was.
Although I was skeptical about trying to march in the parade, these guys would not take no for an answer and invited me to join their ranks. I did and with their encouragement I made it to the end. I was among my brothers and it was their love that gave me the strength. Visit my Photo Gallery Page to see a few pictures of this gratifying encounter.

NEWS: Sad to report that this has been one confusing year for me.
We did not get to perform together again until 1998 at the Blue Bird Music Festival in North Carolina and each subsequent year. Sometimes, I would visit him and Mary Kay on Hilton Head and we would spend a week or so, playing music and exploring the Islands historical sights. Now, he is gone. Click Here to Read Mike's Obituary. A few weeks later,
we lost another common friend, Al Cain. And worst of all, this year, after 13 years, October 2010 was the final gathering for the Blue Bird Music Festival. I guess we are all just getting old. I turned 75 this past September. Go to my photo Gallery to see a few pictures taken at this Festival. By the way, my wife and I will be celebrating 55 years of marriage in January 2011. God Has Been Good To Us. We Praise Him Daily.

METOYER Recipient of The 2010 Asante Award"
presented by The Asante Foundation and NOLA.TV (New Orleans, LA) for Music.
In September, we
lost Mike Taylor,
John Denver's
Lead Guitarist. Mike was like a son to me and I
was always a father figure to him. Prior to him joining with
John Denver, he
played lead guitar for me and we did shows up & down the East Coast. In
1967, after being told that my performing was unbecoming of a Field
Grade Officer, I was shipped to Thailand. Mike later joined John Denver
and went on to do great things. He was also a songwriter and one of his
hit songs was "Rocky Mountain High."
"VAGABONDO."
It was a super production and I was surprised to learn that Vince had
some hidden acting talents. The chronicle was good with footage of
Vince's early TV appearances. And if you know Vince, he can be quite
comical as a 'Storyteller" and "Living Life" type comments. See it
the 1st chance you get. Here is the URL:
