As far back as I can remember, music has been a major part of my life. My mother was an accomplished and classically trained pianist, and I was brought up listening to the great contemporary and jazz standards of the day, as well as classical. I'm fond of rock, pop, and R&B from my youth, but also enjoy other genres. Progressive, post-rock, and post-classical are my current preferences. They are diverse and vibrant.

"The Crow and the Nightingale"
lyrics
Thank you for your words of longing
It doesn't really matter whether or not I understood them
Doesn't really matter where they take me
Or how they take me
A witch-black hill in a storm
An unruly sea of salt-frozen fear
Or a paradise of palms
As long as it's not here
As long as it's not here
But a rooftop I can go, to scream above the birds
Adding my dull sheen to your brilliant words
A job for Christo
Wrapping the sun with silk
Wrapping the sun
Wrapping the sun
With silk
Wrapping the sun
Wrapping the sun with silk
Make it something that can be looked at
Without hurting
I can try
I can't fly, but I'll open my rough beak
Squawk at the sky
The crow and the nightingale
I can't fly, but I'll open my rough beak
Squawk at the sky
The crow and the nightingale
The crow and the nightingale
Wrapping the sun with silk
Wrapping the sun
Wrapping the sun with silk
Make it something
Better than blindness
Better than darkness
Make it something that can be looked at
Without hurting
Without hurting
Locking Helen of Troy in a padded room
Behind frosted glass
Howlin' at the moon
Squawking at the sky
A racket
And a tune _________________

“There’s nothing like wearing a Dodger jersey. There’s nothing like it in all of sports. I don’t care that I’ve never played anywhere else. There’s nothing like wearing Dodger blue.”
~A.J. Ellis (former Dodger player)
I was born and raised in The South. Lived in California for about ten years. Have been fortunate to travel some in my life. Visited some great places, and have met some wonderful people along the way. Still plan to see a lot more of this world.
A heartfelt "Thanks" to all the friends I have made here. You bring me much joy. Please remember that my page is really for Your enjoyment and pleasure. It means very little without friends to share it with.
