Music
It depends where I am, what I'm doing and who the players are. I love all music but tend to lean toward solo acoustic sets. It focuses more on the artist and creates an intimate "feel good" experience. Sometimes it's like listening to a language you don't understand but can make out the conversation if you pay very close attention. AND I think the world of Tim Westergren and strongly support what he has started. Not only is he a great musician but he supports musicians constanly...Take a listen...
Pandora,
Jean Auel: "Clan of the Cavebear", "Valley of the Horses", "The Mamouth Hunters", "Plains of Passion" and the last book that I want to read SO bad; "The Shelters of Stone" That woman can write and I love how she tells the stories...Jean Auel
Heroes
My mother who decided to move to the US from France, leave a drunk and raise 3 kids on her own. She taught me that hard work pays off in the long run and that America is the land of opportunity. Go after your dreams. And my grandfather who could only speak 3 words of English: Hello, Stop and Shut up. What else is there???
