I am pursuing music for the time being of my life. I've been playing for maybe 12 years and generally play 2-4 hours a day.. lately I've been branching out and learning to play a little gypsy Jazz (Django Reinhardt) and old time finger picking songs in a style like Mississippi John Hurt. I love learning about different cultures folk music history. Here is a little video of me improvising to a minor swing like (Django gypsy) backing track. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10205318006687799&pnref=story If you play or appreciate music let's exchange interests and insights and/or just jam : )I'm enthusiastic about community and local organic food and what not.. I've been an active meditator for about 3 years now and grateful to have alleviated some of my negative thought patterns and be positive and conscious!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'd call it more pretty cool rather than amazing but made 100 dollars in an hour busking with a friend

Teach, Learn, Share

I've mentioned I have experiencing playing music and my friends have told me how they feel like they're learning just playing with me and giving some tips. I'd love to help/learn/get involved with gardening or local farming.

What I Can Share with Hosts

You guys are offering a space in your home to me and I will be spending hours playing for tips and reciprocate with what I can.
