MY PERSONAL FRIEND REQUEST POLICY
DUE TO AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF FRIEND REQUESTS FROM PEOPLE I DO NOT KNOW...
I am now denying any FRIEND requests by anyone who does not send me a personal message that somehow shows you read my profile and describes what we have in common.
If you are a BAND member, know me and run your own My Space page...
Send me an email and tell me how we know each other. If I think you are "legit" and not someone posing to be who I think you are, I will send you a friend request. I receive too many band page requests from people I do not know so I disabled band requests in my profile.
If you are a CURRENT student...
Nothing personal but due to the fact that some teachers in OTHER CITIES and OTHER DISTRICTS have received some negative feedback about having students as "friends" on My Space I cannot accept friend requests from CURRENT students.
If you are a FORMER student...
Feel free to send me a friend request. I always like hearing from my former students and a few are already in my current friends list.
"FAMOUS" people I would like to meet someday
Tim Green (interviewed several times; never met in-person)
Scottie Pippen
Jack Lengyel
Jockey Edgar Prado and Barbaro, The Horse (R.I.P. Barbaro)
Jason McElwain
Jack Trout
Dr. Wayne Dyer
Parker J. Palmer
Dan Millman
Faith Popcorn
Scott Hamilton
Carl Brashear (R.I.P.)
Rudy Ruettiger---MET in Spring 2007! My students will be working on a project inspired by him! What a great guy!
And many other people who have inspiring real-life stories.
ATTN: MEDIA CONTACTS, JOURNALISTS, RADIO/TV PEOPLE!
If you are one of my many media, radio, television and journalist colleagues or former co-workers and are
not listed as a "friend" this is because I could
NOT find you
easily through the "My Space" search function. Please feel free to send me a friend request and let's keep in touch.
WHERE DID MY TOP 8 GO?
I do not like the concept of a "Top 8" or Top ANYTHING when it comes to friends. Plus, a lot of media outlets are friends and it is impossible to rank them. They are all wonderful in their own way and help promote great music or provide compelling content to their audience.

I have over 450 friends.

Music:
MY DIVERSE TASTE
I like all kinds of music except disconnected-sounding jazz, long progressive and jam type songs. I am tired of the same 500 classic rock songs played on the radio because I played many of those songs every day as an AOR radio personality for over 20 years. I spend about 75-100 dollars a month on pay-for song download sites; it is an addiction. I will never, ever download a song illegally. I work for too many musicians and have too much respect for their craft to do that. My CD mixes will have a track from Nat King Cole right next to Mudvayne that is how diverse my taste is.
A PASSION for SOUNDTRACKS
As a former competitive figure skater I also love great, lush soundtracks so if you know of any that have come out the past 10 years feel free to send me a message. Some of my faves include "Robin Hood," "Forrest Gump" and "Rudy." I hope to get back on the ice and compete again before I turn 50!!
Movies:
LIKES
Inspirational Films
Historical Movies (that are not too long and boring)
Horror
Suspense
Comedies
Musicals
DISLIKES
"Chick flicks" (even though I am a "chick")
Pointless action movies
Anything based on some video game
Crime, Mafia and Gang movies
Most movies with over-exposed actors/actresses
Television:
I have been involved with a vast variety of television productions since I was a small child. As a kid, I was in commercials and sang on local variety shows. As an adult I helped produce radio station TV commercials and co-hosted telethons.
Books:
I read mostly non-fiction books about everything from Metaphysics to Penguins. My favorite books include almost anything by Parker J. Palmer and Dr. Wayne Dyer. Jack Trout (on marketing and positioning) and Faith Popcorn (on demographics, consumer trends, etc.) are also great "reads."
Heroes:
My Parents doing The Charleston: A Jib Jab movie.
