After my family, my main interest has always been music. I have collected records and CDs for most of my life and accumulated quite a collection. Music remains a very important part of my life.

I enjoy quite a variety of music and my tastes have diversified over the years. My favorite artists include The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Crosby Stills & Nash, Eagles, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, Jethro Tull, The Moody Blues, Bryndle, Loggins & Messina, Elton John and The Manhattan Transfer among many, many others.

Julie and I started hosting concerts at our home about ten years ago and have been promoting the concept of House Concerts whenever and wherever we can.

As you can tell, I also spend a great deal of time with computers and the Internet (probably too much time), but more than drifting in cyber-space, I really love reading good books. I've always loved reading fantasy books because of their ability to take the reader to a different time and place -- a different world. To me, fantasy books are a great escape and a wonderful way to relax at the end of a busy day. Among my other hobbies are photography, skiing and genealogy.
