Music:
I began piano, organ and music theory lessons when I was 5 years old. Later on in junior and senior high school I learned to play the flute, piccolo, clarinet, xylophone, cornet, and saxophone. I played in the stage band, symphonic band, and marching band. I have a strong musical background and I enjoy all kinds of music from classical religious works to high renaissance and baroque, blue grass, some country, rag time, early 20th century material, Negro gospel, techno, trance, and world dance material. I usually have some kind of background music playing except when I'm watching TV.
Some of my favorite artists are:
Jim Morrison, Elton John, The Killers, ELO, Mike Oakenfold, Mike Rizzo, Handel, J.S. Bach, Moby, James Morrison, Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Marley, Randy Newman, the list goes on and on. My preferences wouldn't fit into any particular category easily.
My favorite classical composers are Johann Sabastian Bach, George Frideric Handel, and Edward Elgar.
When it comes to modern material I enjoy Elton John, Keane, Bruce Springsteen, Coldplay, Ray Charles, Depeche Mode, Seal, R.E.M., Genesis, Randy Newman, U2, Simon & Garfunkel, Aretha Franklin, Andrea Bocelli, and Il Divo. I also like trance mixes by William Orbit, Moby, Paul Van Dyk, Paul Digweed, Carl Cox, Paul Oakenfold, and 4 Strings.
