I'm a banjo player, both 4 string plectrum and five string fretless. Doing the one man band thing too, by playing suitcase kick, tambourine and singing. This is my work. I really into qigong and Tai Chi Chuan. I also meditate, hike and enjoy random acts of kindness.
My van has sleeping space in case folks don't have an empty room but can offer a place to park and shower!

I haven't world traveled but have friends from all over and have seen an enormous amount of the continental U.S, breaking bread indiscriminately

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While traveling it can be much more fun to connect with new folks rather than ninja camp or fall asleep at the dingy hotel.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- Erroll Garner to Doc Watson, Old Timey Appalachian to Golden Era Hip Hop, Ella Fitzgerald to Baby Gramps

Movies- Old school kung fu movies but only for a bit. I used to be into all sorts of art and foreign films. Now I just fall asleep

Books- right now looking at Tao Te Ching, A book on the Mahasiddhas with awesome psychedelic illustrations, The Feds Report on Ferguson PD, heartbreaking and sad

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Its the day to day little things that matter most.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share my skills . Had an AfterSchool Music program in East Oakland for almost 7 years.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If I'm crashing with you I probably have a nearby show. So could be a fun thing to do. I love to jam with new friends too. I am happy to help out with gardening. I like getting earthy. I'm really in to my qigong and tai chi, so if your into that, push hands and all. I am empathetic, understanding and pretty psychic.
