If you know me already, then you know that i would have a tough time writing in here. Everything interests me, there is not much that doesn't. Today could be spirituality, tomorrow could be architecture, or geology or geography, or cooking, literature, cinema, art, music, theatre, poetry, psychology, nature, media, current affairs, it just doesnt end...photography has always been an interest but now an easier pasttime to enjoy as i now have a camera. All my friends say that I should go into radio, get a TV show, and also continue to take pictures.
Music
everything except Country and Western, for obvious reasons. " Get Your Biscuits In The Oven, And Your Buns Into Bed" *puke* I love music so much, it's the driving force in my existence, my life blood. Of course, I love mostly classical/serious music, especially as an organist i have an affinity for organ music. My taste is about as eclectic as anyone i know...I am gifted with a more than fine voice, and am known to break out into song at any given moment. In full voice even...

I'm hitting the road in a couple of weeks to raise money for War Child, Coast-to-coast – 50 cities – ALL PROCEEDS TO WARCHILD. Why? 66% of all war victims are CHILDREN. Shocked like me? War Child helps these children that have been affected by war. Check out the new blog – the whole story is up there. Love to have you be a part of it.
You’ll find a Blog, Tour page and a Bio page. I’ll be blogging daily from the road.
Hi James Thomas Gonder. I'm glad my observations made you feel good. You are beautiful and never doubt that. And the timber of your voice is music to my ears as well...you're a sensational person. On the topic of being single for a year..I've been single for yearS...PLURAL!!...so don't feel bad...it has its downwide but that is countered by MUCH personal growth; something that's instrumental to building character and inner strength and confidence. I love love LOVE your new profile picture. I look forward to seeing you whne I return from visiting Peter Berlin San Francisco in early July. xox Denise
Thanks James Thomas David. How did you stumble upon us - Does Gustav Mahler himself have a composition with a title proclaiming Stop Eject to live in a particular city?
Ah--it wasn't No Frills..it was The Metro...(what used to be Dominion) What a stupid non-food sounding title for a supermarket hey? Always reminds me of the porn company Ron Jeremy shoots with "Metro Video"...LOL
Glad u are recovering! yeah baby--it's been what? 2 years now? We gotta just DO it and hit a patio once we both have some spare cash...I WILL be wearing that outfit in Public in June 20th in San Francisco when I go back to see my beloved Peter Berlin.^^ That's why I made those in the 1st place. ^^ You're looking hot in this profile pic here Tommy.^^ Muah! Denise
Your good news made my day. I hope the right people float into your life, and are able to enhance your existance rather than just drain you. Just know that what the past is past, and precious people and things to do wait for you in the future. Little things are such a blessing, like finally finding accurate transcriptions of Fats Waller's piano solos and sitting with friends on a stopped parking lot tram with friends laughing and shaking during the earthquake. But, it's been ages since I sat at the console of a decent pipe organ!
