babybird's VirtualTourist Home Page

Thanks for viewing my page on Virtual Tourist. I've had the fantastic experience of living in multiple states and meeting great people from all over the world as both a musician and radio personality.

I was born and raised in Eau Claire, WI. When I was 21 and "knew everything," I decided I was tired of the winters and set off to pursue my career eventually living in many states: Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Southwest Florida, Iowa and eventually (when I was able to appreciate it) settling in my homestate again. Although I am from Wisconsin, my wife is from the south and I spent a collective 16 years there. That means I have a
great respect for the different lifestyles and cultures and feel equally at ease eating "grits and eggs" and "collards" as I do here
in "Bratwurst and Cheese" land.

I still continue to travel as often as time permits, often taking backroads and discovering little
known treasures in both large and small cities. When you find a gem or a diamond in the rough...SHARE your knowledge of it.
Many of you have done that with me, and I hope to return the favor with my page.

I have picked up many ideas for future visits thanks to a lot of your own travel experiences. Likewise, if you have questions that I may be able to answer regarding places I have been, please feel free to email me at any time.

Happy traveling,

Jim
