Joe's Bio
Joe Sr, Joe and Betty 1955 SCROLL DOWN
Joe
was born to Betty and Joe Broome in Norman Oklahoma. His dad was a jet fighter
pilot in the Air Force so they moved from base to base all around the US till
Joe was 6 years old. Joe and his four brothers Mark, Brian, Neal and Brant
were very active and curious as they grew up in the Cajun town of Houma Louisiana.
They caught lots of bugs and kissed lots of girls.
An example of how Joe's Father would do anything to get a good picture including
to put a lizard on little Joey's ear.
Joe spent a lot of time hunting
in the woods behind his house. He took it for granted that he was part of
a dependable family group.

Gracie, Robby, Ogie, Mark, Joe Sr, Brian and Willa Grace 1966
So
he didn't feel too uncomfortable when his family moved from one neighborhood
to another as his father advanced in his civilian job at Texaco. When Joe
was eight years old he promised himself that he would remember his dreams
and nightmares so he could let people know about them when he was grown up.
Many of those
dreams turned into written stories and at the
age of ten Joe was allowed to take guitar lessons. Shortly there after he
began writing songs.
Mark, Brian and Joe
His first song was the Popsicle Man which was his best recollection of a popular 60s song.
Rock'n Joe 1969
At seventeen Joe hitchhiked to Oklahoma to find his Native American name. He wasn't able to afford to look up his lineage but he continued on to California where he met a great many liberal, tolerant and sometimes stupid people.
High School Graduation 1972
When
the Broome family moved away from Houma Louisiana, Joe was in a New Orleans
college. He stayed in New Orleans for thirteen years and then left the party
town of the south with a BA in Art and experience playing in several bands
such as An Island, Gigantic Face and The Naked Folks.

Moving in with his brother Mark in Houston and then his brother Neal in Huntsville Texas, Joe went back to school and was certified to teach art in the public school system. He still played in coffee houses and with various bands made up of art students. In the public school system, he also learned that inexperienced women have problems with bossy behavior the same way men do with bossiness in their first relationships. Joe knew a lot about bossiness and he wanted to avoid the troubles it caused his Native American Grandfather Papa Ogie and Mama Lou, Ogie's wife.

Joe is eternally grateful for the contributions that women have made to his life and he would like for them to know that he matured later in life. So any disappointment was probably his fault and anyone who wants to reconnect can contact him at 512-699-8882.
He
wants to help everyone in the world to get what they want. So it's hard to
find someone to have kids with, who are dedicated to the same optimistic philanthropy.
If it doesn't happen in his life time, then at least he will have done all
he can for his family and students.
You can access many art lessons Joe has created at www Talent
Teacher .com. On the weekends he used to give free art history and 3D

With the assistance of the Educational Technology Leadership Program at George Washington University Joe has developed a Strategic Management Plan that includes the development of art lesson software and web and classroom educational environments. Joe wants to make first person Internet games, which can compete for the attention of the poorly educated majority. He also wants to continue with his music indefinatly.

Joe believes that the only way he can get what he wants is to first help the public get what they want. The public will not get what they want until they are educated. Joe also wants to employ members of his family, his classmates and his students in an international learning community. The bands that Joe plays with are working toward the time when they can be part of his fund raising project for an educational grass root movement.
