Growing Up on the Road

I remember growing up on the road
Spending summers with Mother
On her burlesque circuit

It started when I was 6
My parents got divorced
And Mother
Was forced to raise 2 kids on her own

I went to a military school
In Tennessee
My grade school years
Then travelled on the road
With Mother
In the summers

I love remembering those days

Son of a Stripper - May 2016

I am the Son of a Stripper.

My Mother was a burlesque dancer for over 20 years in the 1970's and '80's. As a child, I grew up in that environment. I got to travel with her on her burlesque circuit in grade school. I went to a military school in Tennessee during the school year, then travelled with her on the road in the summer.

It was quite a life. I learned a lot. By the time I went to high school, I'd already had lived a full life.
