About Me

Drummer (hand drums - like congas, doumbek & djembe), inclined to play on all surfaces, dogs, walls and bodies. You'll find me accompanying DJs around town too. I'm a decent cook & love all kinds of foods. I even know how to act like an adult when its absolutely necessary. I'm an ocean kind of guy, but love forests & mountains too. I have 4 AMAZING kids, & 6 grandkids. Check out my sons: Copy, "Portlands Best New Band" and Shaun of Natalie Portman's Shaved Head amongst my "Friends". Love to dance - genuine music freak. Hardly any kind that I don't like... Art & Cultures of the world(s) fascinate me. There is SO much more goin' on than what we get in the US. I'm a great masseur ..and I do love to touch. Subud is at the Center of my life. If you want to know, I'll tell you about it. Intellect is great, but brains can only take you so far. I enjoy speaking, no, I LOVE talking: give me a stage, ANY stage. I'll talk for YOU! Voice for hire. Computer games, narration.. You name it. Words are cool, and how we use them. Basically, I'm a Total People Freak, amazed with everyone's unique gifts. I can hang with bag ladies or billionaires, but not too tolerant of conservatives or fundamentalists. I always learn something from you. My life is filled with incredible experiences and I have a story about every one. Always interested in yours
