Movies
I am an artist who usually cannot stand so-called "art movies". I love all the old hollywood stuff from the 30's and 40's. I also love documentary-type movies, or well-done films about historical events of the 19th and 20th centuries. ALL Coen Brothers movies.
Television
sometimes
Books
Yes please. If you don't read, get off of my site.

Hey, my new song - SUNRISE OVER THE LOWER EAST SIDE - is up and running on my site. Lots of new recordings coming soon. Paintings too. Kiss the family for me! Joel
A beautiful fall morning - I'm outside to get a signal - coffee - crows - sunrise - New England - and BAM! - I find this Clonts painting! Ha! WOW! I LOVE IT! Heff
You know, I've been meaning to tell you that it was so awesome to meet ya. I'm sure I made a great impression - crashing your Saturday evening all drunk on red wine. I swear it was your sister's idea!!
I think that was Les's cock--she said it ran away just before she moved. Aaaahhh the old neighborhood. I can still recall the complex aromas wafting off the rendering plant when the wind was just right...
Hey brother! Here's some art for you. I've been thinking about you a lot today. I heard you received a visit from a wanted felon. Hope you all had a great time! Give T a hug for me. Heff
I forgot to tell you - I ran into Heff a few days ago during the massive heatwave. He was prone in Boston Common dressed in full black - boots - shades - the usual get up. His hands were clenched behind his neck and he was perfectly dry and composed. Before I could say anything he said, 'Catching some rays...ahhhh..." and - you know the laugh....I kept walking and he called - 'Drink a lot of water - this weather is BRUTAL!' and launched into another Heffian laugh sprinkled with weezing coughs - followed by a long - loud - melodramatic/sarcastic SIGH!
