About Me

I'm a Radio Disc Jockey, Musician, Writer, Photographer, Skier and Beachcomber. I play Guitar and Blues Harp. I recently picked up a Ukelele in Hawaii and have been learning how to play the Uke too! I love the islands and beaches and hope to retire there or start a new career there someday. OK, somebody name a career on the beach! Currently, I'm a D.J. at radio station KGY in Olympia. It's on the beach!

My Interests

Stargazing and Moonwatching.CURRENT MOON about the moon Music, art, journalism, radio, vinyl records, travel, photography, sports, comedy, intelligent conversation, small talk, bar-b-que, hiking, river rafting, sailing, camping out, water skiing, snow skiing,Guitar, harmonica (blues harp), ukelele, singing, swing dancing, jitterbug, spontaneous adventures, staying up late, sleeping in late, road trips, bike riding, skating, Seahawks Football, Mariners Baseball, Oly Rollers Roller Derby, sunset watching, moonlight canoeing and having bonfire jams.

Friends to play music with or listen to music with, skiers or snowboarders to go skiing with, writers, artists, dancers, sailors, beachcombers, nightowls, stargazers and people who make me laugh or those who laugh along with me. Anybody buying the first round!

Music:

Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence. Music has charms to soothe the savage beast. Music heals the body and soul. Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent. Great art is as irrational as great music. It is mad with its own loveliness.It's only Rock n' Roll but I like it.

Movies:

This is Spinal Tap, O' Brother Where Art Thou?, The Fisher King, Brazil, Raising Arizona, A Mighty Wind, The Big Lebowski, Casablanca, The African Queen, Once, Smoke Signals, Pulp Fiction, Intolerable Cruelty, Monty Python's The Search for the Holy Grail, The Princess Bride, The Baron Von Munchausen, Office Space, The Blues Brothers, Animal House, The Rutles, Mars Attacks, The Pick of Destiny, The Jerk, Fargo, Dogma, The Wizard of Oz and A Hard Day's Night.

Television:

If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace. ~John Lennon

Books:

Books by Tom Robbins, Hunter S. Thompson, David Guterson, Carlos Casteneda, Kiana Davenport, Jimmy Buffett, Ken Kesey and Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

Heroes:

Do not hesitate to do that which you have been called to do for fear of being unworthy, for it is in doing the thing that you will be made so. Nurture your mind with great thoughts, to believe in the heroic makes heroes.
