One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing a volcano in Edinburgh, Scotland was pretty breathtaking. The Adirondacks in New York State is one of my favorite places to travel to. I have seen hundreds of concerts all over the country, and I enjoy many different styles and genres of music.

Hiked entire Oregon Coast Trail recently, with some hitchhiking..... Also camped in Redwoods National Forest, and did a section of the Pacific Crest Trail in Washington State.....

I used to play music professionally.... Jazz and alternative.... I play upright and electric bass.... I also dabble with guitar, piano, and drums, but I'm better at bass......
