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.

“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)
The 2020 Dodgers finished the shortened 60-game regular season with the best record in Major League Baseball, a +136 run differential, the lowest ERA, the most runs scored, and the best win percentage for a National League team since the 1909 Pittsburgh Pirates.
Cardboard cutouts replaced actual fans at MLB stadiums in 2020 due to the COVID pandemic.
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.
