Wonderful, sexy, talented people from every corner of the world, and then invite them all to a sexy party round my house.
At the moment it's all about the blues...Blind Willie, Leadbelly, Robert Johnson, Lonnie Johnson, Big Bill Broonzy, Charlie Christian, Elmore James, Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Tampa Red, Memphis Slim, Willie Dixon, John Mayall, Gordon Giltrap, Alexis Korner, Rory Gallagher, Jimi H, Allman Brothers, George Benson, George Harrison, Dave Gilmour, Pete Townshend, Eric Bibb...but I have pretty eclectic tastes in music.
Now for those trainspotters like me, who love the look, feel and sound of different musical instruments as much as the music itself, I have an increasing collection of guitars.For the most part, I play a Yamaha SG1000 ( a great electric guitar that was loosly designed on the Gibson SG and the Les Paul. In my opinion it is better than both and totally undervalued), a beautiful 0003 acoustic handmade by Moon Guitars, Glasgow, and my latest addition, the Lapstick - a travel guitar handmade by Phil Neal, ex of Andys Guitars, Denmark Street, now working out of the Netherlands. check out www.lapstick.com
Zatoichi, Vanilla Sky, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, O Brother Where art thou?, Videodrome, Logans Run, Altered States, Enter the Dragon, Breakfast of Champions and Herbie Goes Bananas
Artsworld, Futurama, Lost, and let me tell you the best TV show in ages is undoubtedly "Heroes" showing in the UK in February on Sci-Fi, but remember whatever you watch, the television is the retina of the mind's eye!
