An ordinary man living in extraordinary times. Moved by human rights issues I separately met and marched with Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy and Cesar Chavez as a young teen. Encouraged by new found friendships I jammed with Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix at 15 and ranted poetry in San Francisco with Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Alan Ginsberg, and Richard Brautigan in the late 60's and early 70's.
And for 3 decades I settled into personal counseling, high risk prisoner rehabilitation, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, and
inner city school tutoring with my good friend, Isaac Hayes.

Currently, I occasionally write poetry at https://matsumotopoetry.blogspot.com/
