About Me

Fashionably late to the MySpace cyberworld. Music is my first love! :) My friends call me "Big E" 'coz I'm small but have a *big* personality. They might call me eclectic, but my friends say it's part of my charm!
Born in New York City, I was bitten by the travel bug young. My family started to travel the globe for U.N. peacekeeping missions when I was 3. We trekked the Himalayas in Nepal and explored bat caves in Western Samoa. Ran cross country through the rice fields of Indonesia.
My father's Japanese and my mother's Swiss. My friends come in all shapes & sizes & colors! I believe we all could benefit to be more open-minded and open-hearted. Iâ€™m intrigued with the â€œwhy'sâ€ and â€œhow'sâ€ of life. Especially with what makes people tick. No such thing as a dumb question!
I play flute, clarinet, alto/soprano sax, and my latest discovery the penny whistle. Ha! Not as easy it looks. Worth more than a penny. I'm a double-Aquarius. Watch out for us creative types. :)I got my layout at Cleanupmyspace.com
