Why I'm on Couchsurfing
As a member of four different housing cooperatives over the past several years, I have become acquainted with the hosting side of things. And as a traveller I have appreciated the hospitality and friendship of my past hosts.
Music, Movies, and Books
Eric Dolphy, Charles Mingus, John Coltrane, Art Tatum, Captain Beefheart, Charlie Parker, Maurice Ravel, Dirty Projectors, JS Bach, Thelonious Monk, Lennie Tristano, David S. Ware, Warne Marsh, Lee Konitz, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Wayne Shorter, The Bad Plus, Bill Evans... Books... it's mostly academic nonsense no one cares about.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I can teach you lots of stuff about music.
