Music (playing and listening), photography, digital video editing, graphic design (Adobe Creative Suite rocks!), and all the creative stuff is proudly done on a Mac. I like to travel as much as possible, play mandolin, harp, squeezebox, flutes of different kinds, sax. Performing at ren faires, pirate festivals, weddings, etc.
Music
Morris tunes (hence the name), English and Irish music, renaissance, medieval, classical, Blues/R'nB, old rock, cajun, ethereal, pagan, and folk.
Here are some videos of my good friend and music partner Dave Waterman and I relaxing at the New World Brewery, sometime in the middle of November, 2008-- what we like to call, "Old World at New World"...
Movies
Children of a Lesser God, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings, Shrek, Rent, Fantasia, bunches of children's movies that I won't admit to liking but I do, and more.
Television
Nope. Once every few months I might see an episode of "Monk" or "CSI" if it happens to be on where I am. I only turn my TV on so that I can use the DVD or VCR, and that's as seldom as watching a show.
Books
Virtually anything by Charles de Lint. If you think you would like stories of the Fae or the Supernatural, completely overlapped with life in a large, seemingly impersonal city, and then finding out that the things you thought that you couldn't see have an unending interest in your life, then Charles de Lint is the author to try. Let me know what you think after you try one. "Tapping the Dream Tree" is a good short-story book, "Memory and Dream" is a good novel to start with. What is especially good about his writing is his recurring cast of characters and the imaginary, dirty, but magical city of Newford, all of which play a part in most of his better books. After you've read a couple, you might begin to think that you know your way around Newford as well as his characters do.
Heroes
My Grandparents and Parents, rest their souls.

About me: I'm an educator and artist, musician and traveler, teacher and student...
Child of the 60's and 70's, I live for acoustic music, travel, being outdoors,
creating stuff on the Mac (video editing, Photoshop/Illustrator pieces, music),
meeting the local wildlife wherever I travel, the rennie family, camping, and
welcoming my friends with open arms.
Who I'd like to meet: Who would I like to meet?
New like-minded friends! Good people, kind friends, folkies, musicians,
rennies, people who like music and dance, folks with no other agenda
than wanting to be friends.
Morisman, it will be another pleasure to see you at the TCPF. And of course, we are going to be in Key Largo for the Key Largo Pirate Fest, where we first met. So let's make some time to chat, we are heading back to the studio and want to talk to you about sitting in on the recording. See ye in Stuart ............. MUAH
