Music, Movies, and Books
Blues and country, new and old, and an infinite variety of anything else. Favourite artists include Neil Young, The White Stripes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Townes van Zant, the Rolling Stones, The Arcade Fire.....
Roald Dahl and Spike Milligan are two of my favourite authors; I really like short stories. Lately I have been reading Margaret Atwood and Iain Banks.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Waking from a seasick slumber to look out my window and see oil rig flare stacks on the horizon, at sunset, from a ferry between Aberdeen and Kirkwall.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can share the principles of economics (not boring, really!), how can they be so functional and yet so flawed when it comes to the real world. I can teach the guitar, because I am left-handed, and its a mirror image for a right-handed player.
