Music, music and more music, astronomy, great literature and beautiful women! I collect Asian art and enjoy Middle Eastern / Mediterranean cuisine. I love long hikes in the forests and mountains. I always enjoy exchanges with people from different cultures, of any age. We will all be richer for the experience. Me gusta corresponder en español o portugese. Como este aprendo mejor como decir y escribir estas lenguas. My primary musical interests lie with jazz and blues; but I also enjoy down and dirty rock and roll jamming when the mood strikes! I play electric and acoustic guitar, blues harp (harmonica) and hand drums. I would love to learn a little bluegrass from one of those Nashville cats - :)

Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grapelli, Ella Fitzgerald, Bessie Smith, John Coltrane, Billy Holiday, Etta James, Fats Waller and many other Jazz musicians / bands of that era too numerous to mention. I also need a good hit of 30's / 40s Big Band from time to time!

In the blues category my taste is varied. Among my many favourites are Ry Cooder, Muddy Waters, Clarence Gatemouth Brown, John Lee Hooker, Albert King, T-Bone Walker, *some* Johnny Winter, Mississippi Fred Mc Dowell' Leadbelly, Howlin' Wolf and Delta blues in general.

From Classic Rock, my all time favourites include Bob Dylan, Jeff Beck, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Hendrix, SRV, Yardbirds, The Kinks, The Who, Big Brother & The Holding Company, Janis Joplin, The Beatles, The Stones, early Country Joe and the Fish, Yes and U2!.

Modern Jazz / Soul singers I admire include Diana Krall, Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin, Norah Jones.... and Joan Armatrading,who seems to be in a category of her own, as is Leonard Cohen!

There are So many! But to list just a few: The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Chocolat, Life is Beautiful, The Illusionist, Piano, A Beautiful Mind, Gladiator, Shine, The Mission, Almost Famous, Osama, Ran (by Akira Kurasawa) and Shakespeare productions that don't have Mel Gibson ruining the tone! . I tend to prefer foreign films and love documentaries on anything of interest. I'm very interested in Japanese film, but my knowledge of the language needs to be improved immensely. I'm working on it -:(

Discovery and History Channel, Concerts and the occasional detective / forensic thriller

Too many to mention. I have a 2,000 book library ranging from astronomy, through great poetry, novels, mythology and folk lore.

To list just a few fiction titles and authors that come to mind: Love in the Time of Cholera and anything else by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Lewis Carroll, Classical Greek plays, particularly by Euripides, Shakespeare, W.B Yeats, W. Blake, T.S Eliot, Virginia Woolf, anything by John Fowles, John Donne ...

Life is short! Make fun of it! If music be the food of love, then play on! Hasta la victoria siempre Queen - Im Going Slightly Mad via Noolmusic.com
