“What is music to you? What would you be without music? Music is everything. Nature is music (cicadas in the tropical night). The sea is music, the wind is music. The rain drumming on the roof and the storm raging in the sky are music. Music is the oldest entity. The scope of music is immense and infinite. It is the ‘esperanto’ of the world.”
–Duke Ellington
I’m a pretty simple guy to get to know... I love music, I like to be challenged, I think a good glass of wine can cure most ills, I find truth in a simple Joni Mitchell song even though her arrangements are far from simple, I hate bios, I believe Van Halen was better with David Lee Roth, I miss the days when I could listen to the radio, I think comfort equals defeat, I think George Harrison was the best Beatle, I can’t go a day without coffee, I wonder as I wander, I’m in awe of Stevie Wonder, I’m a closet Hall & Oates fan, I write what I know and am done writing this bio...
