Admittedly Old School and eclectic. Got any 78's? I do. American standards with great vocalists, classic hard rock deep cuts, hot pop from the 40's thru 90's. Fond of classical, jazz, R&B, soul, funk and country as well. Jazz/rock/prog/fusion is another weakness. If you have a great voice, I'll be your fan, ie Kelly Clarkson.

Being a military vet, I can appreciate anyone who puts his or her life on the line for the safety, happiness and well-being of others. Hungarian physician Ignac Semmelweis, who in 1847 began washing his hands thoroughly between handling patients and noticed a sharp drop in hospital mortalities - who was subsequently ridiculed for his blasphemous ideas about hygene. Physicist Richard Feynman.
