I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

You may call me Mazungue or tony whichever you prefer. I am a web community developer using MySpace (thanks Tom) and other platforms for networking purposes. I’m here to learn and grow with all those crossing my path on cyberspace and hopefully someone will find useful information on my page as well, making the effort of creating this Space worthwhile! In the 70’s & 80’s I played electric guitar in groups through Africa, Europe and US. Occasionally I also make sounds with keyboards and lately I am pursuing Alto Sax studies, my first reed experience and a spiritual one too! My friends say I sound like me; that could be a good thing or a really bad one. My other spiritual path has been one of teaching, first as a national technical trainer then as a meditation and chi-kung community facilitator. Nowadays, I spend most of my time on the web when I’m not under water or asleep! I know is not one of the most exciting lives but this is it right now! Tomorrow will be different, perhaps we will meet and learn from each other, perhaps we will just be a virtual accident, or not. Hugs!

My Interests

This page is not all about Jazz. I think a true Jazz artist naturally endorses free form . This page is all about free-form art, independently of genre and technical skill. It is about the heart and the soul.

Action:
Teach by example, not by force!

    I dream of a world without borders, where we come to celebrate, respect and learn from each other’s unique gifts.

    Philosophy:
    If you hit a wrong note, then make [it] right by what you play afterwards. "Joe Pass"
