I like things that make me smile. Art, Music, Photography, Creativity, Harmony, Nature, Gardening. Philosophy, Books, Reading, Tennis, Rollerblading, Hiking, Biking, Skiing. Food, good food, and Beer, good beer and ales-Try Brother Thelonious for a tasty treat! Cars, I love cars and drool for the Porsche 911 and 12s. Fashion. W magazine makes me smile. Style. Design and Art are the alpha and omega for me...
I want to meet people who are free with their smiles.
Musicians, Artists, Creative types. Successful and intelligent people. Promoters and patrons of the arts, art collectors, gallerists, curators, artist representatives... Hey, nice people! Active people. I'd like to meet someone to play tennis with locally. That would make me happy. I want to meet happy people!
I want to be the MUSE. And I DO LOVE THE MINSTREL. I want to meet famous people. Why Not?! Pourquoi-pas, oui? Yes. Roger (as in YES). John and Scotty and so and so please. How about some famous people collecting my art? That would be nice! Bring it on...

"We are most happy when we are absorbed. Doing."—me.
I listen for a SERIOUS ELEMENT of creativity and harmony expressed in music, as that is similarly what I strive for in my art. I create visual harmony. I am a huge music lover and can get quite philosophical about it. It is another form of expression, and what I like to see is THE ARTISTRY.
Check the band Boards of Canada, a favorite album of theirs is "Music Has The Right to Children". StereoLab's "Cobra And Phases Group Play Voltage In The Milky Night" also is a favorite album.
Zero 7, yes, we love them. Red House Painters, we love again. Andrew Bird, he does CERTAINLY rock. I Am the World Trade Center's track "Metro (brooklyn mix)" — love it! JET, yup. Death Cab for Cutie, sure. The boys — Beasties, Beck and Bob Marley... The girls — Zap Mamma, Bjork, Fiona Apple, Feist, Cat Power...
We love!
