About Me
My name is Jay and I like blue - hence the name. I was born in Akron, Ohio, USA in 1947. That means, of course, that I have lived through the birth of Rock and Roll, the Vietnam War, the Folk music craze of the 60's, the British "invasion", the Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Kennedy assassination, and everything in the 50 years plus after that. I've worked in electronics and computer software among other things and am now retired but busier than ever.
