restaurants,poker,reading,watching and playing baseball,catching live music at local clubs and going on tour.
Any member of the 2004 Boston Red Sox...just to say "THANK YOU". The unbridled joy I felt when they won was staggering. After having my hopes and dreams crushed in the past...they won for all the people who kept the faith...I just wish my dad was alive to experience it after giving me the legacy of being a Red sox fan.

Bob Dylan...The Schemers...John Hiatt...Van Halen...David Wilcox...Yonder Mountain String Band...Slaid Cleaves...Foxtrot Zulu...Bop (Harvey)...Bob Marley...Ratdog...Joe Jackson...Roomful of Blues...
