I can not believe some of the stories, and adventures I've accumulated over the years; tea with joujuka players in Morocco, concerts in Medillin, Colombia, '98 World Cup in Paris, Manhattan is its own monster, lived in Austin, TX for 10 years, been stranded in 1/2 our countries airports. Was in Sevilla, Spain on 9/11, the Louvre, enjoying the Egyptian exhibit when a piece was STOLEN!! I love Venice Beach, am amazed how quickly weather can change in the Alps, spend a lot of time in Chicago, canoed the everglades with alligators in the water, crashed at a cool artist colony in Holland. I get to hang out in old theatres, play bass in cool rock n' roll bands, have an amp bigger than my car, seem to fly a lot, and like romantic era classical music...
