Who is The Sandscratcher?
My mission is simple: To share stories and life lessons, offer advice & encouragement, plus share my love of music & TV....oh yeah, and anything else I find of interest!
My channel is where I'll share my memories, chat about life in general and share my love of music, old films and more.
You won't find my thoughts on politics, religion, and such, as I've always believed them to be personal.
Here, it's all about sharing those things I've learned through the years, and remembering events that have stayed with me.
