Music, music and, er music....Epping Forest (we live right next to it)...gardening...reading (when I get the time)...writing (it's what I do for a living)....trying to understand my daughters!
Music lovers, kindred spirits...
Rosie Thomas, Chris Smither, Chet Baker, Etta James, Ben Folds, Beatles, Old Crow Medicine Show, Beach Boys, Dylan, Josh Rouse, The Band, Van the Man, Pat Metheny, Devendra Banhart, Aimee Mann, Joni Mitchell, Al Kooper, Cosmic Rough Riders, The Sadies, Neil Young, Ryan Adams, James Taylor, Billie Holiday, Daniel Lanois, Gillian Welch, Paul Simon, Bert Jansch, Jolie Holland, Kathleen Edwards, Erin McKeown, Patricia Vonne, lots of jazz.....an endless list!!!
Almost Famous, Oh Brother Wherefore Art Thou, Barton Fink, most Woody Allen, Shawshank Redemption, Citizen Kane...The Natural (underrated classic)...anything by Kurasawa...Cinema Paradiso.....and many, many more...
Rarely watch TV...too much else to do!
I admire Rosie Thomas as she always takes time to speak to her fans after a show (and give them a hug, thanks Rosie!)...but my wife is undoubtedly a hero...anyone who can juggle a full time job, study, bring up two kids, and put up with me, gets my vote.
