Musicians who are exploring music world wide in a manner that is world wide. The local is universal, but to reach out to a far away place and express genuine interest in the nuances is the journey for us.

Movies:
Support independent cinema, user-submitted portals, and then create some yourselves.
Television:
Filled with hundreds of hours of mind-numbing stuff, that is so gooey and nice and dull. Don't overdose on it, and don't stick our noses up to it. Bless the Simpsons, C-Span, PBS, Public Access, Community College TVs, Travel Channel, and Adult Swim.

Heroes:
all of you....good job.
Seriously, there are some people who I must thank for everything.
First my grandmother and my father. Norma Moore was the most supportive matron you could ever imagine. Everytime I'd come up with some new thing to do, she would encourage me. My father was an entrepeneur who didn't like how big businesses treated people or employees and struck out to his own operation. That plus his never ending love sustains me to this day. I lost him when I was just 13, but he's been my guide and mentor ever since.My teachers are important to me as well. I thank Tim Hart, Jeff Gleason, Ray Dillard, Tim Harris, Tim Flemming, David Wheeler, Dr David Courtney, Sri Subash Chandran and Ganesh Kumar. Additionally, my indirect media teachers (people I learned from by watching concerts and videos) Glen Velez, for everything framedrum, I owe you too much. To Layne Redmond, John Bergamo, Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri, Pt. Sharda Sahai, Shawn Lane, Steve Vai, Michael Hedges, and John McLaughlin. The list goes on and on, but these are a few for now.
And last, to my great family, in the house and around, you are my foundation and my inspiration daily.
