Radio, especially sketch writing, performing and editing; audio production. Love film and video, and have written several scripts and sketches. Would love to be a writer/performer like the Monty Python guys.
All of the Monty Python guys. (They were genius writers and performers).Martin Scorsese, Gary Oldman, Joel Schumacher, Peter Weir, Russ Martin.Oh...you mean on MySpace? Well...anyone, really. I love to learn about other cultures.
Just about any kind of music is great with me.I taught myself the piano and I was one of the staff piano guys at Alley Cats and Times Square in Addison from 1997-2002.The Beatles are my very favourite band, and I am most musically influenced by Paul McCartney and Brian Wilson.Love anything with vocal harmony. Have several music projects, including "The Black and White Psychedelic" with my buddy John. Plus, I love to write and record. I even air my own music on the station where I work--90.1 KERA.I love other cultures' music as well.
I have so many movies, and Christine and I like to watch movies together.Some of my very favourites are all of the Star Wars movies, Dead Poet's Society, Dances With Wolves, Amadeus, The Godfather, Goodfellas, Casino....I could go on and on.
Don't really watch a whole lot of TV. I love the British comedies and the Python television stuff. Speaking of Python on television, I am very proud of the fact that I am employed at the station that was the first to introduce Monty Python to American television.
I am trying hard to read books. Although I'm a pretty good reader, it has been tough for me to get a book that holds my attention.I've found that I like the mob books. I read "Wiseguy," and "Casino," and I'm working on "The Godfather."Oh...I forgot. I have read the Thomas Harris novels, the Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, and Red Dragon. I also really enjoyed Cosmos and This Demon-Haunted World by Carl Sagan. Worked on A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking. Oh...I forgot as well...it's not exactly classic literature, but I do have and read Brian Wilson's autobiography. I met him and he signed it for me.Christine has so many books and I have tried to read alot of them. I started Charlie Chaplin's biography, and read some of Deepak Chopra's books.
Leonardo DaVinci, Charlie Chaplin, Mozart, all of the Monty Python group, Walt Disney, Don Bluth, Russ Martin and JD Ryan, Ron Chapman.
