...I have kept body and soul together for the better part of this life as a saxophone player...Found myself in some distant lands....Now I am taking a sabatical from travels in order to do some intensive practice sessions....Music really does expand the consciousness...For me it goes hand in hand with breathing.....I balance things out by farming the land, planting fruit trees and vegetable crops....Learnt some languages during my odyssey and would love to receive corespondence in French, Spanish, English or Swahili....
I ain't going to get into this one....If I do a list, it will be endless....My tastes are real eclectic....Maybe some day I will sit down and give this section an attempt....Damn! I would have to start with over a hundred jazz musicians....then we would move on to Soul, Gospel, Blues, Conscious Reggae, Boleros, Flamenco, Tango, Irish Folk Music, South African Township Music, The Shepherd Calls of Mali...and on and on and on....
