My Interests


Get Your Own Voice Player Manage

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who will sit for 2 hours for a portrait.

Music:

I compose music, primarily choral/orchestral, and must admit that my favorite style of music is somewhere in the choral arts, although I enjoy a WIDE variety of musical genre. Graham Central Station, Madonna, Bob Dylan, Prince, Queen...I pretty much just love music. Except new country music.

Movies:

My favorite motion picture by far is "Gone With the Wind". I'll admit it does not sound very macho, but...what a movie! Like music, I enjoy a variety of styles. I liked the two Jason Bourne movies okay, I liked American Pie, I love the Griswold vacation movies from Nat. Lampoon, and I loved Mullholland Drive (and anything else David Lynch did).

Television:

I'm addicted to Law and Order. I'm pretty sure I've seen every episode. I also have to admit that I like South Park. But my all-time favorite T.V. show is Twin Peaks.

Books:

YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO SUVIVE MAKE YOUR TIME.

Heroes:

John Singer Sargent, Anders Zorn, Jack Nicklaus, John Bogel, Bryn Terfel. My all-time geatest hero is Herschel Walker. HOW 'BOUT THEM DAWGS!!!!
