Louis

My interests are: religion, purpose of the universe, welfare of people, and especially the welfare of animals. Will allways root for the underdog. I love comedy, magic and music. I have been known by my wife and friends to pull some huge pranks and practical jokes over the years. Eva and I have worked with The L.I. League For Animal Protection, and once owned a mobile dog grooming buisness for over 25 years, which would explain the "Puppy Page". I have been a musician since the age of 8 and a jazz musician since since the age of 12, and enjoy all forms of music but got hooked on jazz early in life and took up all of the woodwind instruments, clarinent, alto, tenor, saxaphone, and flute. I always had an interest in piano and later in life found piano to be quite fulfilling. Inspired by jazz pianists like Billy Taylor Bill Evans, Chick Corea, Bob James, Oscar Peterson, and Vince Guaraldi.
