About me: What can I say about myself? I am currently living in Sydney, previously Miami, Boston, Tokyo, and a few more. I have always loved music and picked up the guitar a couple of years ago. I still stink, but I am trying hard to get better, not easy for someone starting so late in life. My greatest inspiration when it comes to music and playing the guitar is The Church, and by some fluke or divine intervention (oh wait, I stated below I was an atheist so it cannot be divine after all) I was fortunate enough (Thanks Sue) to cross paths with the most amazing musician on earth, who happens to be a member of this epicurean band. In his infinite wisdom and generosity he indulged me with some instruction and advice. This motivates me to keep playing and hopefully evolve. I play mainly acoustic guitar - a 12-string Takamine cutaway. Oh, and to complicate things further, I am also left-handed, which makes life very difficult...I also have an electric Fender Strat, but I rarely touch it. My dream is to be able to play fast, melodic trills on a Rickenbacker 360 12-string, left-handed of course (impossible to find, even harder to afford).
Who I'd like to meet: Nietzsche, Lou Salome, Jung, Freud, Wagner, Hendrix, Clint Eastwood, anyone who is up for good conversation, provocateurs and caricatures.
