about me
Medium tempo most of the time with sporadic rocky seas and flatline periods...always willing to smile, even against my will though never against my better judgement (i.e. my version of love is more powerful than hate)...love to meet new people just like me AND not at all like me... Would rather spend life dancing, singing, reading, rising, falling, rising again and just generally thinking about everything...

Woo hoo!.... Just got back from my first real performance tour - six gigs in Eastern Europe over nine days. By the end, I felt like that wind-up, cymbal-clapping monkey, but it was all good. Wonderfully appreciative audiences in every town. Can't thank my collaborator Amy Knoles enough for setting the whole tour up. I ride her illustrious, electronic coattails... Not too fun coming home everyday, though, smelling like an ashtray. The twenty million different brands of vodka will do me ...

I'm still relatively new to tribe, but it seems this perennial breast augmentation ad is so NOT the tribe vibe. Not that I have anything against body modification, by burners or yuppies or otherwise, but the taste of the ad just doesn't go down with everyone's beautiful musings and images at the same time. Just my 1 1/2 cents...
