Hello, I'm Karl Ward. I'm from Texas, but I've spent the great majority of my adult life in New York City.

I started writing articles on Wikipedia after an airline security guard explained to me that the SSSS on my boarding pass meant I had to submit to intrusive security screening at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Then I started writing a lot of other articles, mostly biographies of people I've met or musicians I follow. My interests are, more or less:


 * music
 * privacy
 * civil liberties
 * peace
 * biography, of just about anyone I've met
 * poetry
 * country music, but not that toilet fodder that passes for country music on American radio
 * rock music, in most of its forms
 * history, usually of places I have actually lived
 * Unix
 * Linux
 * Perl

But really, I'm just a musician. You can check out the website for my band Ghost Ghost (or the Ghost Ghost Wikipedia page). Cheers.
