My Interests

Playing guitar ,acoustic six and twelve string, and singing, television production, medicine, martial arts, African arts, hiking - and enjoying the Pacific Northwest lifestyle.. Communicating writing and making new friends.

I'd like to meet:

Old friends & genuine people- self motivated, self starter's with vision. Cutting edged people and of course anyone who appreciates my work! I am interested in serious project's. Let me know what you have in mind. joelsamuelpresents

Music:

I have produced many different production's from variety entertainment & documentarys for over 25 years - The only prerequisite is that you have to make a living at what you do in entertainment to do my show. I personally play acoustic folk music and prefer New Age and even Jazz, but as long as you have a real need to express yourself and are creative that is all that matters. My musical style varies from a Gordon Lightfoot, America, Chris Issacs, Beatles. I play around 150 songs that keep me busy practicing my craft.

Movies:

It's a Wonderful life - The Wizard of Oz - Big Fish - What the Bleep do we know- The Christmas Carol by Dickens- The Global Brain- Peter Russell.. Al Gores Documentary. There are so many that are my all time favorites and set the stage that made me what I am today.

Television:

Since I produce video- I like to relax and watch documentary's and news program's and cutting edge productions, but dislike what has been called reality so called program's. Each to their own- There must be a place for everything...

Books:

I don't read as much as I use too, but books from such authors as Hans Christian Anderson - the Philosophers Stone to J.Krishnamurti and books on Plant's and Herbs - Natural Medicine and the Martial arts and Technology has always been an interest for me. Way to many subject's to list here.

Heroes:

I love biographys, I have known many people I look up too and have personally worked with many great people, - many are now deceased.
