About Me

Love, laughter and music...“To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love. But then, one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy, one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.”Woody Allen. Below Is The Cure live on Scandinavian TV around 1986, Just before the release of the "Standing On The Beach" album. A tour I was lucky enough to see live in Berkeley Ca. Enjoy.
