CURRENT MISSION

same as jimi hendrix, "I wanna hear and see everything". Well, everything that's positive and helps life..

ABOUT ME

Of course the "fight club" rule applies to me too, unfortunately, so my life's ending one minute at a time...I love music, travelling, good wine, reading, good food, exchanging ideas and feelings, good movies. I am a very down to earth people, now I live alone with my cat: I love simple things, which does not mean easy things, it is just the opposite. Don't think time should ever be considered like unlimited, and so I like filling mine as much as I can with creative things. Love hiking and camping, snowboarding, art and music mostly. I play guitar and I have set up some gigs for some of my favourite musicians, which is something i deeply loved...

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that what keeps me alive is curiosity ! I am frightened by people who do not have a sense of humor, they are dangerous.

Interests

To say it with Langstone Hughes, "I like to eat, sleep drink and be in love. I like to read, work learn and understand life. I like a pipe for a Christmas present, or Bessie, Bop or Bach")

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My favourite musician all over the planet, Vernon Reid, came to pick me up at Staten Island ferry to take me to his own place. It is like a nun picked up by Saint Peter himself. I could not do anything but laugh the whole trip to his house.

Teach, Learn, Share

well, I guess i can teach some guitar technique and fingerpicking, anyone wanting to learn italian is welcome. I set up my own small recording place in my basement, so if you bring an intrument you could use that, I have an RME audio interface.
I wish i could learn some Yoga, or relaxation techniques.
As regards sharing, if I am not drowning in my work I'd love to show you around if you want to, this can be an interesting area historically and on the food side)
