Astrology, astronomy, music, reading, hiking in the Anza-Borrego desert, photography
Music
Sting, Van Morrison, Loreena McKennitt, Daniel Lanois, The Beatles, Miles Davis, Neil Young, Peter Gabriel -- and I love a blues guy named Scott Ainslie. He says, he's "famous, but not too many people know that about him."
Movies
Lord of the Rings, Gandhi, Fellini's stuff, Jim Jarmusch's stuff, Almodovar's stuff. Robert Downey Jr is magnificent in anything. So is Trudie Styler.
Television
I got rid of my television over twenty years ago, and I only miss it occasionally. TV is great - but when you think of what might have happened with your life in the time you spend watching it, you wake up to the costs.
Books
Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Robert Parker, Umberto Eco, Dennis Lehane, Sue Grafton, C.J. Cherryh, Patrick O'Brian, Anne Perry, Larry McMurtry -- yes, yes, yes. The best use ever made of the English language however was J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.
Heroes
Sting & Trudie, Nelson Mandela, The Dalai Lama, Ram Dass, Carlos Casteneda, Bill Janis
About me:
I'm a professional astrologer. I've written a lot of books about it - The Inner Sky, The Changing Sky, The Book of Pluto, Skymates 1 + 2, Measuring The Night 1+ 2, and a semi-astrological murder mystery called Stalking Anubis. I've got a new one coming out in September - "Yesterday's Sky: Astrology and Reincarnation." I've basically made my living, post-college, doing astrological readings for people. I've been living in Chapel Hill NC with my second wife, Jodie, but we are in the process of moving to Borrego Springs, California. We've been together for 25 years now, wow. No kids -- just two really lucky cats. She's a novelist - she wrote a trilogy of Viking/Elves historical fantasies called "The Rhymer and The Ravens." We've done rock operas based on them -- we've just finished performing the second one at this point -- "The Elves' Prophecy." Amazon (and CD Baby) carry a CD of it, along with our books. I wrote the music. Jodie played bass. Scotty Young played drums, and Rhiannon Jones from Wales sang and played the fiddle. Rhiannon and I did a tune for a Welsh BBC program a couple years too -- "Ystradgynlais." That was my career high point as a musician -- pretty pitiful, huh? But I have fun. Music balances my cerebral/emotional astrological life, which is really my endlessly-demanding focus.
Borrego Springs, our new home, is out in the California desert not too far from Joshua Tree. That hard desert landscape has become a big love. I teach two groups of astrological Apprentices in California, which pretty much made it my second home anyway. And Jodie can breathe out there -- North Carolina is becoming increasing polluted, sad to say. Anyway, the update is that we arrived out here full time on July 25th and we love it, although missing our friends and our band in NC is tough. Our cats are getting adjusted too.
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Who I'd like to meet: Bill Janis of Big Helium Entertainment and Soundwave360--what a guy! Plus Van Morrison and Daniel Lanois. Pema Chodron. And the Dalai Lama.

POEM OF LIGHT
Beyond your eyes exists a world That all can learn to see Within this world exists for us Infinite possibility
Many are lost in darkness And cannot find their way Because they choose to believe the lies They hear from day to day
The future's yours the future's yours, If you open your mind Discover what you do not know And greater truth you'll find
You and me and everyone are all beings of light We can all live in harmony, If we increase our sight, Open your heart open your mind, And see your path anew The greatest joy in life will come From Loving Being You!
Love all of life's Creations Take time and you will grow To know the truth and see the light and all you wish to know Your energy creates life and knowledge is for sure Come know yourself, The universe, And So Much, So Much More...

Hi Steve ~ That's very kind of you to say! Boulevard East is a cool track. I would be happy to send you a CD. To the address on your web site in Cali? I checked out the photos here on myspace and see that you play bass as well as guitar. Maybe we'll get a chance to jam sometime down the road!!!
