Live music, travel, literature, writing, poker.
Keith Richards, Mark Twain
Everything (almost). Rock, blues, funk, jazz, reggae, alt rock. From The Meters to Radiohead, the Dead to the Chili Peppers. Wilco, Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan, Otis Rush, Sonny Rollins, the Stones, Bad Company (guilty pleasure), Zepellin, Beck, Aretha Franklin, Taj Mahal, John Scofield, Neil Young, Bright Eyes, JJ Cale Toots, Marley... MUSIC!
Love them.
Sometimes.
