About Me


I have very little time for the luxury of hobbies and other interests. However, my interests and hobbies are varied, and someday I will have the time to really expand on them, and explore other hobbies and interests that I've never had the opportunity to consider.

Hi Alan, I just love this song and the acoompanying video. I hope that it will continue to be a hit for you for a long time to come. Thank you for sharing this amazing video. Mary

My Interests

I enjoy walking, writing, reading, dancing[ballroom and country line] going out to lunch at one of my favorite restaurants,taking day trips by bus, flying out of state, occasionally, typing on the computer, and occasionally going out with one of my friends for a meal, movie, and maybe sometime dancing, in the near future.

Music:

I enjoy playing guitar, when I can find the time, but I guess you could say, I am a beginner at it, once again. I love nearly all types of music, with a few exceptions. My favorite Country artist is Collin Raye[I have been a member of his fan club for 7 years now]. My favorite songs that Collin sings are""Time Machine", "In This Life", "Little Rock", "That was a River", "I think about You", " It Could Happen Again", and most recently "Quitters","A Soldier's Prayer", and "The Power in You".My favorite R&B male vocalist of all-time, is and always will be, Luther Vandross. My favorite radio station is CAT COUNTRY 98.1, WCTK. My favorite dj is CAT COUNTRY'S Adam Scott. My favorite musical duo of all- time is the "Carpenters". My favorite female vocal artist of all-time, is and always will be Karen Carpenter.

Movies:

My favorite movies, are primarily older movies:"Casablanca", "The Wizard of Oz", "Roman Holiday", "Sabrina", "ET","Home Alone", and for the more recent movies, I enjoy "Forrest Gump", "When Harry Met Sally", "Sleepless in Seattle", "Shall We Dance", "Take the Lead", and "Step up".

Television:

I really prefer the older shows, as opposed to todays' offerings. Some of the shows from the past that I enjoy are: "Dick Van Dyke", "Mary Tyler Moore", the"Honeymooners" and "I Love Lucy".," and Johnny Carson. Today I love the "Reba" show, "Everybody Loves Raymond", "Frasier", and "Trick my Truck".
