I do not talk about myself. Modesty is a merit, isn't it?!
Besides, "He who knows doesn't speak; he who speaks doesn't know." (Lao Tzu)

Music (my passion), astronomy (my another passion), literature (extra dimension of reality I like visiting), physics (my profession), photography (something I love doing), painting (something I just admire).
Some fictional characters, people like Lord Jim ("Lord Jim" by Conrad), Urbain Grandier ("Devils of Loudun" by Huxley), Robert Jordan ("For whom the bell tolls" by Hemingway), Jay Gatsby ("Great Gatsby"), Feinhals ("Where were you, Adam?" by Boll)...I'd love to meet Leo Tolstoy, Kabir, Marcus Aurelius, Rabia Al-Basri, Albert Schweitzer, Mahatma Gandhi, Jorge Luis Borges, Ansari of Herat, William Law, Rumi, Meister Eckhart, Shota Rustaveli, Heinrich Boll and Aldous Huxley. Alas, they are all dead. From living people I'd enjoy to meet and talk with Noam Chomsky and Peter Green.
One child once wrote in his diary:
"I know where Heaven is: it is the place where Rory Gallagher's soul lives."
Rory Gallagher (1948-1995)
..
Rory Gallagher - 'I Could've Had Religion' (Marquee, London April 1972)
..
Dietrich Buxtehude (1637-1707) - the mystical genius, inventor of the "Stylus Phantasticus" and the mighty precursor of Johann Sebastian Bach - one of my supreme musical heroes...
A fact from Bach's biography: 20 years old Bach, in 1705, walked (!) about 250 miles from Arnstadt to Lübeck in his desire to meet Buxtehude and learn from him. Bach
stayed about three months to hear him playing, and as Bach explained "to comprehend one thing and another about his art."
Gustav Leonhardt playing Buxtehude's Praeludium g-moll (BuxWV 163):
Buxtehude's celebrated cantata with the mystical title "Jesu, Meines Lebens Leben" ('Jesus, the life of my life'):
Strangely enough, people keep asking me: "Who is Peter Green?!" Well,watch this video and you will learn something about him:
"Peter Green has more talent in his little finger than I have in my whole body." B.B. King
My YouTube 'peek' of the week: Danny Kirwan - "Talk With You"
..
Final 2 minutes of my favourite film of all times: 'Oh, Lucky Man!' :-)
A video from my uploads collection:
Diane Lane - "Am I Blue?"
Oh well... "I don't like rock'n'roll, I don't like jazz, I don't like classical music, I don't like folk (whoever they are), I don't like nothing... but I do like to be beside the seaside..." No, no, wait, it is by Tony Ashton, not by me ;-) check it if you don't believe:..Now seriosuly: according to Huxley silence and music are best tools for "expressing the inexpressible".

"Oh' lucky man" is my favorite movie.
What is television? I try pretending I don't know.
See the list of fictional characters I'd like to meet. They "live" in my favorite books...
