Hello to all visiting this my web page, fixed in the sinews of the capable channels that vine through the music Department at Western Oregon. So...who is Stephen Holmes? Well, he is the central subject of this bio and I might personally add a good friend to all non-violent types. However, let me quote David Byrne so as not to muddle this picture I am painting with too much unnecessary tripe. The omniscient Mr. Byrne has said, "We are all flowers growing in Gods garden and that is why he spreads the shit around." Who is the fertilizer that Mr. Byrne is describing? Is this a literal garden or a figurative one? If it is literal, is it within driving distance from Salem or is it in some more exotic place that seems to always be where we are not? If it is figurative, then could calling it a parking lot work as well? We are all cars in God's parking lot and that is why he??? I do not really know the answers to these questions. Maybe, that is why we are all here, to spread our shit everywhere in order to make this garden grow. I have seen some really lovely gardens around Oregon. Salem has a very nice one by Bush Park. But I leave this to you dear readers to find for yourselves. I as Mr. Holmes' sole biographer to this point, knowing him to be a man and not a woman, can only conclude that this is some kind of joke that he, not she, and this not being because he is not a she but rather for reasons unknown, must see this as such and I am sure that somewhere in the matrix of this verbiage hopes that you will also.
