This slideshow will give you a bit of an idea about my other interests:

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


In the realm of the not possible, I'd love to see my father again. It's been 30 years since he passed away and not a day goes by when I don't think about him in some way.

On another level of the not possible, I'd like to meet FDR, Errol Flynn, Mickey Mantle, Duane Allman and George Harrison.

In the realm of the possible, I'd like to meet Walter Cronkite, who I think remains the exemplar for television journalists.

I'd also like to meet all of the fine artists in my Friends page. Actually, I've had the good fortune to meet both Graham Nash and Sara Hickman, but I would never say no to saying Hi again.

CONCERTS - 1980s

This is a bit of a lost decade, in that there's a five-year gap in concerts from 1984 to 1989. I have a couple of theories why, but it's still frustrating that I can't fill in the blanks.SEPTEMBER 30...

CONCERTS - 1970s
