About Me


For Whom the Bell Tolls

"No man is an island, entire of itself;
every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea...
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory
were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were:

any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind,
and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee."

John Donne

Music:

I have been asked why I don't have a list of favorite music. It's just too hard to choose.
My enjoyment runs the gamut from Sergei Rachmaninoff to Harry Nilsson to the likes of Tangerine Dream.
Part of my personal MySpace experience is the awe and joy of discovering new or unique artists.
I don't own an I-Pod and I don't own a cell phone either. Clearly, I harbor a bit of contempt for our overly gadgetized society.
