music, theater, strange sounds, cooking and eating, books, bicycles and the art of living well.
SOMEONE TO TALK TO, SOMEONE TO COOK WITH, SOMEONE TO SLEEP WITH: I have found, for myself, three essential elements (talking, cooking and sleeping) that when they are working, provide the foundation to explore and build a relationship. I love to talk on the phone, I am out of town a lot, and I want someone who enjoys long phone calls at strange hours. I love sitting and talking over Coffee, and during the preparation and enjoyment of a meal. I love to cook, and being away a lot, I try to make a point of it when I am in Buffalo. I like to watch and see someone at work in their kitchen, and I like to help. No day is finished with out a pleasant drift to sleep, and how one sleeps in bed with another is more important than how one plays in bed. For how we play is something we can learn and teach each other, but how we sleep is a much more indelible part of who we are. I would like to meet a woman who is strong and playful. Someone who knows herself, knows where she is going, is playful, but doesn't play games with her heart. Who is strong enough to be honest even when it hurts, and can make fun and laugh at the pot holes in life’s road. I am looking for someone who will appreciate the same in me, and relish the space we create together, between and within ourselves. I can see myself connecting to a well established career woman with an interest in the arts, with a funky sense of style, with a fun car and a cool bicycle, (for day trips and the Sunday midnight bike rides) and if I am lucky someone who rides a motorcycle too. I know I want to have kids in the next few years, and raise them outside the box. I am looking for a beautiful lady to join me on such an adventure. To sum it up, someone who is "dirty enough to be happy, and clean enough to be healthy".(and who can identify that quote) Someone with a strong circle of Real Friends and Family to share with each other.
I listen to a lot of music, I own too much music (but I have friends with tons more that me) The past few years I have been collecting a bunch of Americana folk music and bluegrass, For a couple of years I was expanding my collection of jazz, with a concentration of Miles Davis. I also collect music from bands I have gigged for (including board tapes of my mixes): Moxy Fruvous, John and Mary, 10,000 Maniacs, Donna the Buffalo, Enter the Haggis. And bands that have appeared at the Rhubarb Family Picknic (where I have tapes main stage from 02 through 05) My general list includes: Bauhaus, Love and Rockets, Led Zepplin, the Cure, David Bowie, The mammals, Doc Watson, The lowest of the Low, the Nields, Eddie from Ohio, Fishbone, the Beatles, and any song by Cole Porter
I wish I had more time to go to the movies and to watch my Netflix disks (I think I am still holding a disk from last summer) I do However, go out to see live theater in Buffalo.My favorite movie is Casablanca!Invite me over to watch a dvd, I'll bring poping corn.
I don't watch it at home. But I do turn it on when I'm staying at hotels, which is a lot when I am touring. I like the Discovery channel shows about engineering buildings, or big trucks or boats. Or the History channel (WHY can't I find a bar that just has (like a bar has to have a TV or two in it) History and Discovery playing on their TVs?) I like to find strange public access programs on at strange hours of the night, like 2:47 when I am just getting back to my room after a gig.
I like the works of Henry Miller, Ayn Rand, Hunter S Thompson, F Scott Fitzgerald, Jack London, James Gleck, Richard Feynman, Philip K Dick, Graham Hancock, Zecharia Stichin, Roger Penrose, Robert M Pirsig,
Richard P Feynman, Rob Buck
