Books: Dim Mak in one easy step called a gun, Tao Te Ching, Marley and Me, and Nikola Tesla's 'Experiments with Alternate Currents of High Potential and High Frequency'...

Movies: The Godfather, Eastern Promises, The Sopranos, and any show that depicts players getting wet and TCB. Coming for Christmas 2008: http://www.marleyandmemovie.com/

Music: REAL music. Anything that helps balance out my abnormal brainwaves...I especially dig the sounds of a good Harmonica player tearing it up. I am a Harmonicist and devotee to the preservation and advancement of the Harmonica as both a fine musical instrument and fascinating piece of History as well as an important addition to the musical folklore of various cultures.My Favorite Harmonica Maker is:http://seydel1847.com....I also play:http://www.suzukiharmonica.com/....and:http://bushmanharmonicas.com/....and of course:http://www.hohnerusa.com/....and a couple of these too:http://www.leeoskar.com/

Hobbies: Harmonica, Guitar, Music Theory, Music History, Music Folklore, Folk instruments, Didgeridoo, Dogs, Cats, Martial Arts, Philosophy, Science, Electronics, Reading, and Online Research on Anything and Everything. I am known by my associates as an Expert on many things and a Master of practically nothing... Some see me as an Idiot Savant that has the Idiot part nearly Mastered but has an inner Savant that likes to play hide and go seek...I collect and play Harmonicas and am learning to repair, re-tune, and modify them.

I like REAL music. Music is open to interpretation which means that what is REAL to some totally eludes others. A good musician is patient and a good listener keeps an open mind.--QuinoacatPlease Support:http://www.spah.org/Also check out:http://harmonicajam.com/For Amplifiers I prefer:http://www.voxamps.co.uk/For Microphones I prefer:http://www.audixusa.com/My Guitars:I currently own a 7 String Fender Stagemaster and a Dean Vendetta (The Dean is Super Light, Cheap, and sounds OK for an axe that set me back 80 bucks NIB). The Fender 7 String is a project I am slowly working on restoring starting with the blue metallic paint job I sprayed her with.
