I am obviously interested in money because I am a musician and a teacher. Screw the stock market, just teach kids at their homes. Let's see... Camping, hiking, fishing for largemouth bass at the land, skiing(downhill and cross-country), swimming, running, speed-walking, stretching at gas stations while I'm filling up, playing frisbee,composing and creating, reading facts even though I have a bad memory, kickn back with friends and family, driving across the USA with my band, playing strange music for middle-age people in weird taverns. Ummmm. that's basically it.
Music
I like lots and lots of good music...... I would describe my taste as jazzicalfunkrock......... Michel Petrucciani,Chick Corea,Chucho Valdes, Weather Report, RTF, Herbie Hancock, especially the FUNK (Thrust, Headhunters), Monty Alexander, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Latin Music, Frank Zappa, Bob James, Chopin, Marian McPartland, Jean-Luc Ponty, Christian McBride, Beatles, George Duke, Enrico Pieranunzi, Denilo Perez, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Chris Potter, Paquito D'Rivera, Led Zepplin, Pat Metheny, Bach, Karl Denson, Billy Cobham, Stanley Clark, Kenny Drew Jr., Bill Evans, Roy Hargrove, RH Factor, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Stan Getz, Jobim, Dexter Gordon, Stanley Turrentine, Jimmy Smith, Art Tatum, Bud Powell, Fats Waller, Cole Porter, Wynton Kelly, Hank Jones, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Norah Jones, Incubus, Digitible Planets, Beethoven, Mozart, Vince Guaraldi's Charlie Brown Christmas Collection... I know all of them by heart... I listen to the radio a lot too, just to see what's out there in the world of music. CHECK OUT MICHEL PETRUCCIANI.. HIS PIANO PLAYING IS UNBELIEVABLE!! HE WAS BORN A DWARF(BONE DISORDER). HOWEVER, HE HAD NORMAL SIZE HANDS.. ACTUALLY HE HAD A TREMENDOUS REACH ON THE PIANO. HE WOULD HAVE THE PEDALS ON THE PIANO RAISED SO HE COULD REACH THEM. HE WAS BORN IN ORANGE, FRANCE AND HIS WHOLE FAMILY PLAYS MUSIC. NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS PIANO VIRTUOSO, SO CHECK HIM OUT IF YOU'VE NEVER HEARD HIM PLAY. UNFORTUNATELY HE DIED IN 1998, I THINK AT THE AGE OF 36. I WISH I COULD OF SEEN HIM PLAY. CHECK THIS GUY OUT!!!!!!
