About Me

Love to dance to early hot sounds, 20's Jazz to Hillbilly. The ultimate night out would be a dance at an art deco hotel. All the guests dressed up and giving it their very best on the dance floor. No band just the hot'st DJ's fighting it out. No chance to sit down! Plush rooms for all..no night buses! Also into art and design, especialy Art deco, Love to design and make things from scratch like bookends etc. Spend too much money on old American cars. My only, everyday car is a 1950 chevrolet coupe. Dont like modern cars, just not me. Next project I hope will be an Art deco house. The only thing I would want modern would be the kitchen. It would be great to learn to play a Jazz banjo and strum along while DJ'ing. Who knows, one day. Regular job, working for the Ambulance service..they won't let me have a 59 Cadilac ambulance.
