I'm interested in Music listening, performing, and composing. I also find languages very interesting although I only speak English and German. Then there are a host of others, which are just too many to mention hier. Grüße an alle die Deutsch können! Kölle Allaaf!
Anybody... I've spent a lot of time in a small room with two very large pieces of metal..... It's rough being a tuba-player. :-) Ok maybe not anybody... anybody who's IQ is higher than 2 times their age... ;-)
I listen to everything from Arnold Schönberg to Sick of it All. but since I spend most of my time making music, I listen to stuff that I don't have to listen to.. People think that as a classical musician I should go to orchestra concerts every week.... that last time I was at a concert I didn't perform at, was three years ago.
er.. how do you turn this stupid thing on?
I'm very much into classical German Literature.... I've read just about everybody there. Goethe, Schiller, Lessing, Heine, Eichendorf and others. Modern German literature too( Hesse, Brecht, Rilke, Grass, Mann, and others), I know, I know, I'm a bit of a geek there, but reading them in the original languages has done wonders for my German.Those are about the only things that I read that are different, at least from my fellow americans. :-)
Arnold Jacobs, Hans Gelhar, and a host of other people, no one's ever heard of.....
