My People,
Greetings. Come Friday, August 23, 2013, I will not be owned by a home in nearly twenty years. I have a closing date on my Clintonville house 645 East Jeffrey Place and then I assume the moniker “Nomad Man” or “No Madman.”
Here are my new numbers:
Arnett Howard
PO Box 141125
Columbus, OH. 43214
614/427-9784
I have a few gigs between now and Christmas and then I will travel and see my family for extended stays. I have a new nephew in Atlanta, Santiago, my brother Kevin lives in Houston, friends all over Florida, Jamaica is always calling me. And who knows, I might be calling on you, my friends in Central Ohio with a request, “Hey do you mind if I come a stay the night, get a hot shower and a warm meal?”
I want to blog about the experience of being a nomad. Do you notice that I’m not using the term “homeless.”
Bright moments are ahead.

PS: The Columbus Historical Society at COSI is hosting an exhibit called “Columbus at Play.” It features an incredible sports memorabilia collection curated by Bob Hunter and Dr. Jim Tootle and the history of Columbus Music curated by me. In addition to over one hundred twenty photographs, records, books and vintage instruments, I was fortunate to acquire Rusty “Night Train” Bryant’s red tenor saxophone, courtesy of Gary Chasin, Uncle Sam’s Pawn Center.
The show runs through December.
