About me:
I'm a 47 year old Canadian back in Toronto after living in Los Angeles for a number of years. Old Movie and Theatre Geek. Also a writer (6 Plays, A Book, A Screenplay, Attempting a Musical), a singer/songwriter of no threat to anyone, and a free lance Illustrator of the Toonish Persuasion.

My Stuff
Who I'd like to meet:
People with similar interests. I'd like to get back into theatre, so people involved in theatre would be great. Also folks that are into old movies are always cool. Writers, particularly funny ones are welcome. I'm a pinko/old school Canadian socialist, and I'm not looking to be converted. I like Smart People, they're always welcome.

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)

"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
