about me
I am fun and I like to have fun, but sometimes I can be serious. VERY SERIOUS. No wait, no I can't.

I am grateful and happy that I am able to earn a living following my bliss... making art, playing music and acting. I have wonderful friends whom I cherish.

I like him.

I like how play-FULL he is, how his eyes shout, "I'm alive!"

I miss being near and feeling his warmth reach out to me (oh, wait, that's not his warmth!)....

Fire and dust and musical vibes and everything naughty and nice...
Much more than much love,
my friend Sam.

Sam is a great hugger and a great kisser and super sexy - in fact his fiance Kristen is also super sexy so to be with the two of them together is a double whammy!
In addition, they 've gone out of their way to include this new burner in their circle and adventures which is seriously much appreciated and let me tell you I am purrrr-ing!

The best thing about Sam is his beautiful fiance, Kristen!

HA!

Well actually, they bring out the best in each other.

I am blessed to have a friend like him. He is multi-talented and smart.

What I respect most about him is his obvious undying devotion towards that sexy lady he loves.

Everytime I see Sam, he is full of hugs, kisses, warmth and more complements than any woman needs (but no one is complaining). I hope to still have this man as a part of my life for years and years and years and years to come.

Damn good people, this one is,
and a hell of a musician to boot!
Always a highlight of the party
when he and his lovely missus hit the scene...
One finger on the strings, and the other on the pulse of BC.

Hey everyone,

I, along with a few colleagues, are in the process of building a new website called erotisan. The website will be a social networking tool for erotic artists, photographers, writers, performers, educators, lovers, sex-spiritualists and everyone who is sexually progressive. We are envisioning a well-designed and secure Web 2.0 application for the sex-positive where free discourse and expression is encouraged. We are hoping it will grow to be an invaluable tool for people to ... read more

So it looks as though my plans to readjust my internal clock by staying up for 2 days in a row and then succumbing to complete exhaustion and sleeping through a solid night don’t pan out. I wake up at 5:45 am and forced myself to doze until 9:00 am. I get out of bed and, after a quick shower, I head down to meet the rest of the band for the hotel's complementary breakfast.

I am pleasantly surprised to see a huge spread of covered chaffing dishes on a long banquet table, a long dessert ta... read more

Day 1 – Thursday/Friday

I am traveling in China with my band, the Roma Swing Ensemble, to spread the good word of Romanian-Gypsy-Jazz to the people of China. I never would have guessed that the Chinese would be big fans of Romanian music, but I guess it makes sense with both countries having that shared Communist bond. Apparently there was a time of cultural exchange between China and Ceausescu-led Communist Romania so a lot of Chinese people know the Romanian classics. With the cultura... read more

Wow, what a fun and beautiful city this here Portland. We (the Lache Cercel Roma Swing Ensemble) just played a super fun show at the Fez. A fun whacky room with a great crowd and so many fun bands. We shared the stage with a Gypsy Brass band calles the Krebsic Orkestar and a Romanian Gypsy quartet from Seattle called Ensemble Submasa. It was such a great night! We even got a chance to swing into Powell's Bookstore for an hour before the show - more tomorrow.

And the people here is P... read more
