About Me


You have been marked on my profile map! Click to zoom-in.
I've been active in music for over 40 years. I have lived in Toronto, Paris, Los Angeles, and now call Vancouver home. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

jazz, funk, R 'n B, record production, old radios, dogs that smile.

I'd like to meet:

Thelonius Monk, if only that were possible.

Music:

I grew up listening to Oscar Peterson, the greatest jazz pianist in the world!!! That has influenced who I listen to in other styles. I love Steely Dan, Little Feat, Bonnie Raitt, Robben Ford, Zappa, a great Canadian band Dr. Music, and also the Tubes, the Temptations, and of course, THE BEATLES. I have every tune they recorded (that I know of). Having said that, I'm not a collector - just a devoted fan.

Television:

hockey night in canada - end of story.

Books:

I haven't read a book since 1986 when I got my first computer. It's been nothing but manuals ever since. I guess they are technically still books...

Heroes:

Oscar Peterson, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Thelonius Monk, Thad Jones, Bill Evans, Ella Fitzgerald, my mom - Ruth Sample, my dad - Rod Sample.
