I have a large collection of teddy bears, of which I am veryfond,accumulated throughout my life. They all have character,and most have names.
They range in size from the very small toabout 24 inches tall as large ones take up too much space, butthe bigger ones look after the littlys.

The Nutcracker was the first ballet I saw live, at the age of four.

I am interested in photography, and have been for many years.

Slow and Steady
Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy.
They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder.
It'd really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment.
They expect you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then usually decide against it. How Do People See You?

You Are Smokin' Hot
You're a terrible flirt, a sharp dresser, and a party animal.
Of course, you're totally sizzling too. And for you, being hot just comes naturally....naturally! Are You Hot? So how DO people see me? What am I really like?

Music is 'in the blood' as I come from several generations ofmusicians professional and amateur. My tastes in music are many and very varied.! was brought upon Classical music, some of which I still like...But when Iwas very young, I discovered Eddie Cochran...So I like rock & roll,old rhythm & blues, boogie woogie, early Jazz.EarlyBlues, '60s pop,and soul,Rock and Blues.70's. .More Blues, andR'n'B.Progressive,and heavy,and Motown...umm, and noisyRockers. 80's onwards, more of the same really, but with a fewnew romantics tucked in the gaps...I never liked Punk , Don'tlike Death or thrash metal, rap , house or garage,oravant-garde jazz either....I really appreciate superb musicianship, clever lyrics and good voices, performingtunes which I can follow and sing, which actually covers mostgenres, and time up to the present day ...I could do a list,but it would go on forever and when it was done I'd still feelI'd missed important people out, so perhaps I may at some timecompile a restrained edited version....

Your Taste in Music:

50's - 80's Rock: High Influence
Classic Rock: and Progressive Rock: High Influence
Blues : and Rhythm and Blues: High Influence
Jazz: Medium Influence

Music is very important to you...It is to be listened to . It is not aural wallpaper.. It's difficult to find you without your music.
