Hey, what can I say! I like music and that pretty much sums it up. No, not one kind and, no not some. But a lot! Old stuff, new stuff, serious stuff, fun stuff, slow stuff, and fast stuff. Yeah, I'll give examples, but what I like is not limited to just these...classic rock, pop, oldies, classical, country, marches, swing, folk, reggae, celtic, watzes, drum and bugle corps, new age/world, blues, bluegrass, Broadway hits, showtunes, jingles, choral...like I said, I like a lot!
clubs
I love to just sit and listen to bands, but I also love to get up and dance! So, I love local clubs, like Gillary's, The Beach House, and others where I can do both. But, don't get me wrong, I like pubs and comedy clubs, too. I like following drum & bugle corps during their competition season. I've known corps members and staff members of The Boston Crusaders since I was of pre-teen years and still maintain a close relationship with them.
talents
Hey, I used to be a pretty darn good clarinet player! Yep, sure was! I was not only in my school bands, but performed in All-State Bands, All-State Orchestras, and in some school and amateur theater orchestras. I've given lessons over the years, too. Now, though, I am an extremely talented member of many audiences...meaning I enjoy watching and listening to other performers and I put all my heart and soul into it. I can also play the radio, CD player, cassette player, and even an old-fashioned turntable with great ease and pleasure!
music
So much, I can't even begin or fit it all here! Here's a bit...classic rock, rock & roll, pop, oldies, swing, classical, Free Bird, Comfortably Numb, anything Disney, Tchaikowsky's Piano Concerty No. 1, Bubbly, Inna Gadda Da Vida, It's Gettin' Hot In Here. You can call me a Parrot Head or a Dead Head, a hippie or a head banger, a toe tapper or a jitter-bugger, an easy listener or a wailer.
