    Neil's Interests
GeneralApart from the music and films below, antiques in general, Art Deco in particular, and cooking. (A former Washington Post food critic gave my apartment 4 stars.) I used to be dance wannabe (ballroom and tap), but it's been years. Have recently started riding my retro bicycle for exercise, but need to do it more often!
MusicThe 4 B's: (Bach, Beethoven, Bartok, Beatles), Kurt Weill, Stravinsky, Gershwin, Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, classic rock, classic jazz. Mandolin music on CD, vinyl, shellac or wax.
MoviesBuster Keaton, Astaire & Rogers, Mae West, W.C. Fields, Marx Brothers, Katherine Hepburn, Preston Sturges, Billy Wilder, Coen Brothers, Pedro Almodovar, Quentin Tarantino, David Lynch, Christopher Guest, some Tim Burton and John Waters. Have been told I'm a good sport about watching chick flics! Best 2006: Thank You For Smoking, Little Miss Sunshine and Prairie Home Companion.
TelevisionMy TV is used primarily for watching DVDs. It WAS permanently tuned to TCM, until Comcast removed them from basic service (Boo! Hiss!), but the Democratic Primaries have turned me into a cable news junkie.
HeroesBach, the early astronauts, and the Nicholas Brothers.
Groups: Art DecoThe Roaring 20'sClassical MusicMelody Beattie ReadersAntique Recordings - Cylinders and 78sThe 30s

About me:
Classical mandolinist / composer / musicologist, liberal Democrat feminist with retro sensibilities.
Who I'd like to meet:
Some new friends, but would not be opposed to also finding Ms. Right. (40 something to 50-ish with similar tastes and interests. Will elaborate later...)

Musical colleagues should send friend requests to my other page, which is listed first in my friends, below. This one is more for personal contacts and my non-musical interests.

About friend requests: Most of my friends below are people I know in real life. If we appear to have nothing in common or you are trying to sell something, you will be "brutally rebuffed!" (Identify the movie quote.) I'm here to meet people that I have actual common interests with!

JeriLynn always seemed to forget
that reading by candlelight
into the wee hours
of the night caused a perfect
impression of her keyboard
upon her forehead
the following day.

It is one of my all time favorites. I actually found an a capella version that is beautiful.

I remember hearing it on the radio too, just not new! But I'm an oldies junkie and you can't listen to the oldies station and not hear Brandy!

This was as retro as I could find... May you have an *awesome* day tomorrow, because (in spite of rumors to the contrary), I think you're a sweetheart.
