About Me

Easy going, intelligent person who enjoys outdoor activities. Music is a passion and ANALOG is my "religion" - Believes Tube output technology is not outdated and is the true (and most accurate) technology for music listening (ask any guitar player) . Love to see the glow of the Svetlana 6550Cs while listening to Hi-FI w/o the lights!!! Choose Turntables and Vinyl over CD Players and CDs - however guilty of having mp3 player for travel purposes. Enjoy the hours of discussion over meaningful topics. True to my friends and will be there when needed. However fool me once shame on me, fool me twice shame on you - (Favorite Bushism) with "Ride Herd" second - Libertarian with a blue streak that understands the proletariat needs some social programs to secure place in society »-(¯`v´¯)-» Design your MySpace with MyLook «-(¯`v´¯)-«
