Ballet, lucid dreaming, classic romantic "screwball" comedy films, 20th century symphonic music, microtonal music (43-tones-to-the-octave music by Harry Partch), opera, good comedic writing (Preston Sturges & P.G. Wodehouse), ecdysiasts, and voting in contests involving Czech model Martina Urbancová ---
Online or e-mail exchange of pleasantries with people who share some similar interests -- especially attractive, witty ladies. It would also be a big bonus if such a lady happens to have long, shapely ballerina legs. I can dream, can't I? "Lucid dreaming" -- THAT'S what I should learn to do ! ************************************************************ **** And here is a link to Martina's website ----------------------
Emmylou Harris. The Grateful Dead. Linnzi Zaorski. Gogol Bordello, Joan Jett. Janis Joplin. Seatrain. Ute Lemper. But my main musical interest is 20th century modernistic symphonic music -- by American composers such as Charles Ives, Virgil Thomson, Harry Partch, and John Adams --- by British composer Havergal Brian -- by Brazilian composer Heitor Villa Lobos, --by Mexican composer Carlos Chavez, -- by Czech composers Leos Janacek and Bohuslav Martinu. --- Gilbert and Sullivan operettas (their "Iolanthe" has to be the funniest operetta ever). --- Tchaikovsky ballets, long-legged ballerinas, choreography by George Balanchine, Mark Morris, Twyla Tharp, and Alwin Nicolais. -- Favorite operas : "The Ballad of Baby Doe" by Douglas Moore, "Four Saints in Three Acts" by Virgil Thomson, "Nixon in China" by John Adams.
