My main interest is music, playing/performing/creating and listening.
Big Sur.
Coffee 'n cigs (Peet's & American Spirits).
Writing.
Cooking.
Coke, not pepsi.
Oh Henry! candy bars.
The dream of one day owning my own '70's lime green Barracuda.
Open roads and driving fast.
The weather in So. Cal.
Barry's Irish Tea.
Canter's Brooklyn Ave Pastrami on Rye.
Ribs USA.
My family and close friends.
My Goddaughter, 'Teesha.
