I live in Seattle Washington and travel North America busking as a one-man-band and also playing banjo in the duo Tsunami Piñata.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

I love travel, but I don't love tourism. I like to travel by busking, woofing, working, volunteering, and couchsurfing. I want to make friends along the way, and when houses are open to strangers, friendship is likely.

Músicas, Filmes e Livros

My favorite music is the stuff that's being made by people here right now! There's so much canned music everywhere and a lot of it is mighty nice, but singing a song with other people in the room is what music is all about. Also I like Indian classical music and Klezmer and Celtic and prog rock and I could list genres all day...I'm maybe a little too into music.....
I don't watch movies too much anymore because they directly compete with my practice time. But I like silent movies quite a bit.
"Debt: The First 5,000 Years" or any book by David Graeber. Also Oryx & Crake, a Confederacy of Dunces, Wind in the Willows, Animal Farm.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

Once I got a bunch of "Burn in Hell" protestors to leave Seattle hempfest by setting up next to them and singing "Satan Gave me a Taco" by Beck.
