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.
