   Brian's Blurbs
About me:
I'm an aging audiophile, if 42 is aging, that is (hmmm...I keep having to increase this number, damnit!). I spend my time and money aquiring and experiencing new and favorite tunes and bands. As long as I can remember, I have been a friend to music. I'm pretty sure I could go without food longer than I could go without music. I am picky though, so know that if I add you to my friends, I do not do so lightly. If I fail to comment on your efforts, it is due to time constraints, not from a lack of opinion. I read a quote once, from one Sir Francis Bacon, that read: "A wise man creates more opportunities than he finds." It is my hope that in some way I can utillize this idea to perpetuate the quality music that is literally bursting at the seams behind the crazy restrictive nature of the mainstream industry.

Dear Brian, thanks a lot for your appreciation of "Astray" (without the h, cause it's a non-smoking track) ! Here's to the future and your plans of flying to Europe when we eventually get a chance to meet. Take care. Arno
