My Interests



I'd like to meet:


If it were possible to meet anyone from any place or time. My choice for a dinner party with a long table would be John Lennon rolling something down at one end, Bob Dylan arguing with Leonardo DaVinci, Simone de Beauvoir accusing Picasso of flirting with her(secretly loving it), William Shakespeare spilling his drink over James Joyce, Albert Einstein carving the meat whilst Nelson Mandela and Ghandi would be telling John to "hurry up" and teaching each other card tricks! Of course the music would be provided by Paul Noonan and his guitar!
If this isn't possible then meeting other honest and nice people would suffice!

Music:


Anything really that I can bop to or has a bit of soul, spirit with melodies!
