      I heart lithium.

    • Interests

      MUSIC-from ABBA to Zappa. From Blues to Blugrass. Alternative and Prog Rock mainly, although I do like some heavier stuff -- like bangin' my head like Angus Young! YES is my favorite band. Saw them in concert in 1984. Peter Gabriel and Adrian Belew are also favorites I have seen in concert. Adrian is actually a native of Cincinnati. He was in King Crimson and has played with Frank Zappa and David Bowie. Peter Frampton now lives in Cincinnati. I love Leon Russell, Green Day, Maroon 5, Sting, Josh Groban, Johnny Cash, The Doors, and Verbicide!
