MUSIC. Double basses. Performing. Traveling. Different cultures, different languages, different people, different places. Deep sea fish. Bugs. Birds. My awesome family. Good friends. Good food. Good food and good friends at the same time. Literature, especially classics and poetry. Art. Films.
Musicians and people all over the world!
I'm a big fan of any music as long as it's done with integrity.
The Red Violin, To Sir With Love, The Silence of the Lambs, Fargo, A Mighty Wind
I really don't watch TV.
I love anything by Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allen Poe, that kind of thing. "Clockwork" by Philip Pullman, and the "His Dark Materials" trilogy by him. I love the Harry Potter books!. "A New History of the Double Bass" by Paul Brun (amazing). "Life of Pi" by Yan Martel. "What Was I Scared Of?" by Dr Seuss. "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran. "Eunoia" by Christian Bok. And my old English Lit textbook which I still have and still love! (shh!)
Edgar Meyer, the Beatles, Oscar Pettiford, Ray Brown, Paul Chambers, Percy Heath, Sam Jones, Dave Holland, Christian McBride, Larry Grenadier, Stan Rogers, Bela Fleck and Des Pawson.
