jazz, funk, R 'n B, record production, old radios, dogs that smile.Music
I grew up listening to Oscar Peterson, the greatest jazz pianist in the world!!! That has influenced who I listen to in other styles. I love Steely Dan, Little Feat, Bonnie Raitt, Robben Ford, Zappa, a great Canadian band Dr. Music, and also the Tubes, the Temptations, and of course, THE BEATLES. I have every tune they recorded (that I know of). Having said that, I'm not a collector - just a devoted fan.Television
Books
I haven't read a book since 1986 when I got my first computer. It's been nothing but manuals ever since. I guess they are technically still books...Heroes
Oscar Peterson, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Thelonius Monk, Thad Jones, Bill Evans, Ella Fitzgerald, my mom - Ruth Sample, my dad - Rod Sample.

Thanks for the add Bill. It is hot as blazes in Nashvegas. Wish I was there for at least a few weeks this summer.
Hi Bill.
I hope you'll forgive a bit of shameless merchandising.
My new CD is out. Funky R' Us ... definitely not your father's organ trio! CD Baby's got it - samples, links & downloads on my Myspace page.
Best wishes,
