Bio

Hometown:	St. Louis/ now San Diego
School:	Webster College, which is now Webster University

I've been into music for 40+ years. Growing up in St. Louis in the 60's and 70's, we got just about every group that was touring come through there back then, being at the geographic center crossroads of the US, all tours went through there. Saw all of the greats, and in their primes.
I still attend a lot of concerts. I now enjoy living in San Diego for the past 25 yrs. I have a highly eclectic appreciation and appetite for music, including rock, alternative, independent, even Classical Indian (sitar & other exotic stringed and percussion instruments. And any music with a compelling and intricate rhythm. I prettymuch groove via music most of the time. Pandora is great for that!
I also love other performing arts, especially the performance artform of Dance!

Whenever humans come together for any reason, music is there: at weddings, funerals, graduation from college, soldiers marching off to war, stadium sporting events, prayer, a romantic dinner, mothers rocking their infants to sleep, and college students studying for exams. Even moreso in non-industrialized cultures than in modern Western societies, music is and was part of the fabric of everyday life accompanying activities throughout the day from gathering and preparing food, to hunting, domestic chores, crafts, and religious ritual.
