Movies
Character driven mostly; my tastes range from "City of God" to "Love Actually" to "Lords of Dogtown." I'm not picky, just no orange cars flying through the air, or dismemberment by chainsaw, please.
Television
You've got to be kidding!
Books
Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter by Mario Vargas Llosa;
anything by Luiz Alfredo Garcia-Roza; biographies of various musicians including Louis M. Gottschalk, Miles, Art Pepper, Buddy Rich, Antonio Carlos Jobim among others.
Heroes
My parents, Chris, and my children for putting up with me!
Happy Birthday Doug! I wanted to thank you again for writing your book, Essential Latin Styles For the Drumset. I have learned so much from reading and practicing with it. It has been very helpful in creating the proper grooves for my big band class I am drumming in! Sincerely, Steve

Hi Doug, you are the best drum teacher! I've since explored some other instruments, banjo and steel drums. I just wanted to play the rock music back then and totally overlooked all the great jazz stuff you could have shown me.... Hope all is well with you. Cheers!

Doug, it's always a joy to hear you and the Sons of Brazil when I'm in K.C. You and the band sounded great. Thanks for being an inspiration. Your bud, Jeff (Bluefish)
