Companies:
Always like to be in good company
Schools:
yes all three
Interests:
I thought I would do just a few songs that I have enjoyed over the years but its starting to become a reflective "well this is where I am at right now" sort of thing. Its cathartic and fun at the same time!.. As you might see on some of the videos, I can't take it all that seriously. You don't get to see the takes where I fall apart completely. Maybe at my time in life there is not much to lose...the one good thing about being 'over the hill' is that its down all the way..
Movies:
Don't see many films but I do remember 'What Dreams May Come' for some reason...oh and Avatar in 3D.. big shame about the tree.
Music:
Contemporary and traditional folk, Blues, Old Time, Anything acoustic.. in fact all things! I like sitting in music sessions. A small contribution and so much more returned...however I was a student three of my favourite vinyl's were Japanese Shakuhachi music, Tibetan Buddhist chanting (three octaves below middle C)! and Balinese gamelan music.. eclectic even then..
Books:
Zen Mind, Beginners Mind always comes to mind..and any other book that tries to make sense of my human condition. Having said that, the best book is the one made up of the pages from my own life.

Whenever I am stuck for a song or new material to perform (new, Old material) I check to see what you are thinking. Some of your earlier posts have helped me decide on arrangements of songs I had been thinking about for years. In short you have helped me inspire me when at a loss for material. Your arrangements are fresh and encompass all the parts that I hear and want to deliver in a one man acoustic performance.
I seem to have the same tastes and your channel is a wonderful resource. Keep it up .. please.
Some feedback on your new webcam. I've been using a low res (640x480) Flip camera for some time, after giving up on my more complicated and expensive cameras. The Flip resolution is perfect for Youtube ... you can check my own videos to see what I mean.
I often jam with your videos ... I will note that on those you just posted, your left hand and the fretboard drop down and out of view on occasion ... not that big a deal, I'll just have to trust my ear more, but it would be ideal if the fretboard was visible throughout.
Regardless ... your videos are like fine pearls ... always of great value.
I wonder what my old friend i doing? How are you?
We have not heard a long time from each other.
Are you on holiday again? :) I hope you doing well.
Wish you a wonderful week my dear friend
Hugs, Heidi
