Music, Art, Photography. I also collect music related memorabilia, more specifically related to Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention. I try to limit my collection to Zappa related thangs so I don't go broke. There is just too much that I like.I like playing guitar. Just started pencil drawings and tryed a little clay sculpture.Take a look at my photos to see a little of all of the above. Thanks for looking!
