Music, Movies, and Books

I love listening to/playing gypsy jazz, bluegrass, string quartets, and anything with a good, danceable beat. For movies, I like when a smart message meets scenic eye candy! Currently reading Visit From the Goon Squad...other favorites are Mary Oliver's poems, Neruda, Calvino and Foer.
