Hi, guys!! Wow, I’m changing my profile yet again. I suppose it’s to keep you on your feet. Each time I change it, I will tell you something new about myself.

I love music. As some of you may, or may not, know, I hear dead people. Ha, just kidding. No, I hear music constantly in my head. Sometimes when I read poetry, I can hear certain instrumentation going right along with the poem. I consider myself a musician, as I do write my own music, and play several instruments. Don’t ask me to sing them, though.

I will listen to most anything. Sometimes twice. After the third time, though, country and rap seem to have been taken off the list. So, some of my favorite artists include: (and this is a long list)

Aerosmith, John Coltrane, Billy Joel, Snow Patrol, Queen, Nina Simone, Violent Femmes, Metallica, Leonard Cohen, U2, Fefe Dobson, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Boston, Social Distortion, Concrete Blonde, Eddie Vedder, Cake, The Flaming Lips, Rolling Stones, Sarah Vaughn, Chantal Kreviazuk, Joni Mitchell, Tears For Fears, John Hiatt, Vampire Weekend, Bob Dylan, Styx, Thelonius Monk, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Led Zeppelin, Blue October, Duran Duran, A Fine Frenzy, Miles Davis, Alicia Keys, Van Halen, Dawn Landes, Breaking Benjamin, Indigo Girls, Prince, Norah Jones, Arctic Monkeys, Jane Siberry, John Mayer, Augustana, Jimi Hindrix, Enya, AC/DC, Louis Armstrong, Adele, Fionn Regan, Elton John, Green Day, Five For Fighting, Pink Floyd, Joss Stone, Marie’ Digby, Linkin Park, The Kinks, Cat Power, INXS, Harry Connick Jr, Franz Ferdinand, Sting, The Police, David Byrne, Chicago, Billie Holliday, Alexa Ray Joel, The Moldy Peaches, …. Gosh, I could just go on and on, couldn’t I??

Anyway, my addictions include my kids, coffee, my guitars, and writing. Those are also my passions. So, I guess one could say that my addictions is my passion. Or even that my passion is addictions. Either way, you're right.
