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, and classical, of course. I'm fond of rock, pop, and R&B from my youth, but enjoy other styles too. Progressive, indie, and post-classical are my current preferences. They are diverse and vibrant.

The world has lost a truly great artist & person.
Here are some of my favorite Rush songs.
"Neige" by André Gagnon (French-Canadian)
A masterpiece of modern music, and Gagnon's crowning achievement over an illustrious career. It has been a favorite of mine for many years. Also of note, all illustrations in the video are by his father, Clarence Gagnon, a noted landscape painter of the early 20th century. I hope you enjoy this great work too.
"One Kind Of Love" by Brian Wilson
love this so much.
I was born and raised in The South (that's in America, y'all). Lived in SoCal 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. Thank you for all the cheerful, kind & sweet comments and messages also.
Three friends die in a car crash, and they find themselves at the Gates of Heaven. Before entering, they are each asked a question by St. Peter himself.
“When you are in your casket and friends and family are mourning you, what would you like to hear them say about you?” asks St. Peter.
The first guy says, “I would like to hear them say that I was a great doctor and a great family man.”
The second guy says, “I would like to hear that I was a wonderful husband and school teacher who made a huge difference in our children.”
The last guy replies. “I would like to hear them say… LOOK !!! HE’S MOVING!!!!!”
Tip Of The Day! Use club soda in your carpet shampooing machine. It cleans as well as if not better than carpet shampoo and does not leave the soapy residue behind. Plus, it will get out most spots.
