PM1948's profile

Occasional concert goer. Just went to a Revelation-Generation Christian thing in NJ and the headliners were a group called the Newsboys. Excuse the pun, but Jesus, were they ever good. Walking, playing guitar, learning my Mac's abilities, playing with software (can't wait for the release of Apple's next OS in October), and playing more guitar!

Me. I don't earn enough to donate anymore. Used to, but that was "pre-downsizing" years. I dedicate my time to the music ministry of two Catholic churches in my area. Been involved as a music "person" in a couple of Youth Ministries.

60's stuff. Some classical. New Age (I know, I know, but I like the soothing part), Enya, Celtic, Folk, Richard Thompson, the late John Denver (my God, did he have a voice). More Folk...Peter, Paul and Mary, Chad Mitchell, Kingston Trio through all their incarnations. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "will the Circle be Unbroken", all three releases. Tommy Emmanuel, Leo Kottke, Doc Watson, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani

Eureka, Heroes, House, CSI, Criminal Minds, anything (within reason, I draw the line at poker!) in High Definition.

Witness, LoTR trilogy, Serenity (loved the series, Firefly), Bridge to Terabithia, Neverending Story, Metropolis (with the Giogio Moroder soundtrack from the 80's), Legend (in spite of Tom Cruise) Tim Curry was so good as the Lord of Darkness. And, Blix, let's not forget Blix.

Mostly magazines now.....PC Mag, MacWorld, Stereophile, Home Theater, Guitar Player, Acoustic Guitar. In the past: Dune, LoTR, The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, anything by Robert Ludlum or Tom Clancy. Many years ago, it was Ian Fleming and 007. In college, it was Peter Drucker.......

"And they, after they have accomplished the leader's goals, after they have worked together, they would say they did it themselves." Lao Tse "We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto." Dorothy Gale

my girlfriend, my church music ministry friends, anyone who can find a note in their head and sing it. That talent, I envy!

My apartment on a rainy, stormy Fall day. Give's me the chance to feel cocooned and safe and I play my guitar. Anyplce that a good sci-fi or fantsay book/movie can take me to.
