About me: .: Musician - electric and acoustic guitar, mandolin. Engineering librarian at the University of Alberta Science & Technology Library, was briefly librarian for NRC Canada's National Institute for Nanotechnology. Web: podbaydoor.com. Born and raised in Winnipeg MB, living in Edmonton AB. I have lived in those two cities, nowhere else. I have visited 27 US states and DC, but never travelled overseas.
Currently performing with Carrie Hryniw, previously was and will occasionally play with the local rock band, Hardy Drew and the Nancy Boys. Played guitar since October 1966. I constantly wrestle with my inner musician - sounds cheesy but it's the truth. I am a very good guitarist, but often musically lazy. I've played with many artists, including my amazing, dear friend, Jessica Owen. Loyal to my friends and family. Quite possibly a quirkyalone. Like my cousin Ian, "I'm pessimistically optimistic and sometimes self-contradicting." I have very little faith in politicians and corporations. I am deeply cynical about many things, but maintain a rock solid faith in people in general. I believe most people to be inherently good and decent.
I can barely tolerate inconsiderate people. It continually astonishes me when I attend a movie to see how much garbage is left behind afterwards by those in attendance. I believe in giving compliments when deserved, such as when I receive great service in a restaurant, retail outlet, whatever. I will often seek out the manager to pass along a positive comment. I believe in karma, that how you treat others and how you treat the planet will have a direct effect on how you will be treated, and that what goes around, comes around.
Who I'd like to meet: The many creative people whose work has influenced me throughout my life.
It shows! Keep up the good work! Weight training is the best way to maintain it. I'm sorry I missed you in NYC. I'm getting ready for my big bike ride and spending a lot of time in my garden. Very exciting. (yawn).
