About Me

Hi, I’m Gil Davis — a longtime communicator, amateur radio enthusiast, and karaoke fan currently living in Decatur, Indiana. I called Albuquerque, New Mexico home for many years. But because of increasing crime of which I was personally affected, I moved to this semi-rural town southeast of Fort Wayne with a promise to give it a five-year trial. That trial has long since passed, and while I still miss the unbeatable Tex-Mex of the Southwest and the fast friends I made, I’ve come to appreciate the quiet charm and community spirit of life here in Indiana.

In May 2024, I took a memorable road trip through Arizona, California, and New Mexico. I started in Bullhead City, Arizona, then brought my friend Jay and his daughter Robyn along to visit my sister in California. After a week of desert sunsets and sleeping on a recliner (not as bad as it sounds), I headed to Albuquerque to reconnect with old friends and soak in the nostalgia. The only hiccup was a traffic jam in Indianapolis — but that’s road life.  Another big plus of that trip: I experienced Buc-ees!!!

This site also serves a personal purpose. Back in the mid-1980s, my then-wife Kathleen (Kathy) had a son she believed was mine. He was born around 1987 in Hemet, California, and adopted by a family in the San Fernando Valley. If you’re that son and you’ve found this page, know that you have my full permission to reach out. I’ve made it easy for you to find me.

Beyond that, I’m active in the amateur radio world — I help run W9JCA.COM and host a weekly live stream for the Jay County (Indiana) Amateur Radio Club Tuesday Evening Net. You might catch me doing karaoke before the net kicks off. I’ve posted over 200 videos on YouTube, mostly karaoke, though I’ve been a bit of a slacker lately while focusing on club projects and site updates.

If you’re here because someone shared a link or you stumbled across my site, welcome. You’ll find a few of my friends featured here, and many more if you visit my Facebook page. You’re also invited to explore my YouTube channel and get a taste of the music and memories I’ve shared over the years.

Thanks for stopping by — and if you’re part of the ham radio community, a fellow karaoke lover, or just someone curious about my story, I’d love to hear from you.
