No, I am not the Jim Lowe who recorded "The Green Door" back in the 50s. Nor am I the Jim Lowe who is "in the lumber business" and who has a lot of people trying to reach him at the wrong phone number. Rather, I am the one who has an interest in a wide variety of subjects, some of which are set forth on my home page.
I can't remember a time when I wasn't interested in what has come to be known as popular culture, such things as comic books, movies, popular music, posters, nostalgic memorabilia, and odd-ball collectibles.
In recent years, my wife Sharon and I have also become addicted world travelers. Over the past decade or so we have visited close to 50 countries and places on all 7 continents (naturally checking out flea markets and antique shops whenever possible).
Beyond the items displayed on my home page, I spend quite a lot of time going to movies, listening to music, typing HTML code, reading biographies, and commiserating with "Mikey" -- the sweetest little long-haired dachshund on Earth. Actually he is not "little," not one of those let's-pretend-I'm-a-real-dog miniature varieties. No, he is a full-size adult male who, despite this clarification that he insists upon, is still significantly littler than I am.
I realize that the above provides little to enlighten you about the man behind the page. Accordingly, I am pleased to permit access to the really personal stuff that you are naturally curious about.
PERSONAL LINKS
The listings which follow are not links to other web sites in the world at large. Rather they are links to other personal byways within this site--the sort of thing that only family members, old friends, and those with an inexplicable interest in the persona of your generous host, would be interested in. Who knows what you might find at these places?

- Favorite movies, records, books, and insights. Yes, vanity-type stuff of the sort that has made large portions of the World Wide Web so tiresome.
- "Happy Piggyland" [Construction of which is being given due consideration]
- Rare photo of Jim Lowe and questionable companions taken in connection with circumstances that are best left undescribed.
- "Family History" For those doing genealogical research on the West Virginia branches of the Lowe or Robson families, here is the never-to-be-completed illustrated family tree of my family. Parts of it are "Under Construction." I guess they always will be.
- The best advice that you will ever get.
