A good up of coffee, Engineering, Music(listening and playing), reading, knife collecting, wood carving, hiking, bird watching, photography, traveling, anything I can use a dremmel on, and so much more!
Johan S. Bach, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Jack Aubrey, Scott Joplin, Yo-Yo Ma, Stephen Maturin, Edvard Grieg, Janos Starker, and J.R.R. Tolkien...and yes I have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Rostropovich pictured on the left.
Anything from the past 600 years
Too many to list
The Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Wheel of Time, Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin Novels just to name a few (or quite a bit if you know what I mean)
Bach, Beethoven, Pablo Casals, Mstislav Rostropovich
