                D.B. Cox                                                       

                Originally from a small town in South Carolina, D.B. Cox grew up in a Southern Baptist children's home.  In an escape attempt, at the age of six, he hopped a

                 freight train with a friend, and rode from Greenwood, South Carolina to Augusta, Georgia.

                 At the age of 14, he picked up the guitar, and a couple of years later played his first paying job with a band.  Once he discovered that someone would actually

                 pay him, to do what he would gladly do for nothing, he was sold on rock & roll.

                 After a 4 year stint, with the Marines in the 60s', he spent a few years in the southeast playing whatever jobs he could get in clubs and bars.  In 1978, he moved

                 to Boston to attend the Berklee School of Music.  Eventually he found the blues circuit in New England, and since then,  he has played the music he loves with

                 some good bands, in a lot of places.

                 The blues musician and poet enjoys writing poetry for the same reason he loves playing the guitar; a way to communicate how he feels, at a given time, on a

                 given day.  His poetry has appeared in numerous publications.  He lives in Watertown, Massachusetts.  He can be contacted at donniebegood@comcast.net
