About Me

I love good music of all kinds. If the music and players are good, it doesn't matter what genre. I like bluegrass, rock, country, jazz, classical, gospel, musical theater. I am a Beethoven fanatic. I love playing his music on the piano, and I study his music through listening and the open score.My three kids keep me pretty busy. I have been divorced for almost 3 years, and joined myspace to see what my teenagers were up to. It's been a hoot having MyownSpace.a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LndoYXRldmVybG lmZS5jb20=" this layout is from whateverlife.com!

Movies:

L.A. Confidential, Nacho Libre, Arthur, Sense and Sensibility, Young Frankenstein, The Trip to Bountiful, Tin Cup, An Affair to Remember

Television:

The Office, Grey's Anatomy, 24, anything on the Science Channel, Discovery HD, or National Geographic HD. I have most of the Andy Griffith Shows and Seinfeld episodes memorized.

Books:

"The Divine Conspiracy: Rediscovering our Hidden Life in God" is my favorite book of all time. Summer reading included "His Excellency, George Washington" (Ellis), "Beethoven's Hair" (Martin), "Beethoven the Universal Composer" (Morris), "The Last Van Gogh" (Richman), and "Beethoven" by Maynard Solomon.
