Love playing guitar, creating music and listening to good music thats never on the radio. Read the occasional history book, but also like to read blogs and blurbs on the obscure. Enjoy going roller blading and walking around Goat Island. I have this plan to make a ride that goes safely over the falls. Do you know how much I could charge if I could come up with a ride over the falls? Would you pay 200 dollars to go over the falls?
