Music:

I love Blues and Jazz (Old School to Smooth Jazz to everything in between), and being a Bassist I have a hardcore jones for groove Funk. I love good Pop and simple Rock tunes that have huge hooks that keep you humming them all day long. I'm absolutely blown away by the variety of music on MySpace! It's all good here...

Movies with a plot, or at least enough action for me so I don't notice there isn't one...Martial Arts movies (Jackie Chan rocks!), sometimes I'll even watch SCARY MOVIES!

Fox (we miss you!!), and my three wonderful children Vanessa, Ashley, and Ronnie (musicians and artists in their own right) who yanked my ass out of retirement and put a Bass back into these big ol' grubby meat hooks and showed me again why it is we musicians sacrifice the way we do for that one fleeting moment of sheer undiluted joy we experience everytime we pick up our instruments and play.... may we all never forget this!
