bill evans is my biggest creative influence and my favorite jazzer, period.
i admire kristian zimmerman and martha argerich over any other classical performer.
the musician which might not necessarily fit with anyone else listed, something one might call a musical "guilty pleasure" would have to be jimmy buffett. parrothead since day one!
music and everything that it comes with it.
my second love is astronomy, i might go back to school just to satisfy my fascination or space.
i love playing pool, and i am getting pretty good at it too.
mountains: i will never move permanently away from my home in colorado, i hate not looking out my window and seeing a 14,000+ foot peak dominating everything else around it.
