Other interests:

I am also an avid jazz fan and collector of rare jazz vinyl. I listen to bebop, hard bop, cool jazz, mainstream, and post bop. Among my favorite artists are Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Clifford Brown, Bud Powell, John Coltrane, Coleman Hawkins, Lee Morgan, Herbie Nichols, Horace Silver, Lester Young, Gerry Mulligan, Jimmy Giuffre, Count Basie, Warne Marsh, Zoot Sims, Lennie Tristano, Kenny Garrett, Geri Allen, Eric Alexander, and Joshua Redman. I am always looking to purchase jazz records from the 40's, 50's, and 60's. If you or someone you know is interested in selling such, please contact me via email. I am especially interested in records from such labels as Blue Note, Prestige, Mode, Verve, Norgran, Clef, Debut, Contemporary, Ad Lib, New Jazz, Transition, Bethlehem, Savoy, Pacific Jazz, and Riverside. I am also interested in out of print Mosaic boxsets. Check out the links to my favorite jazz sites:

Sporting Interests:

My sporting interests are in bowling and golf. I used to bowl in several leagues per week, but work has now limited that to one league per week. I bowl out of Moonlite Lanes in Santa Clara, Ca. My average has been a shade over 200 for the past several years, the latest book average being 202. My current bowling equipment consists of a polished Columbia Boss, a dull AMF RPM 4, and a Columbia Blue Dot for my spare ball. Despite bowling since junior high, I have never bowled a sanctioned 300 game or 800 series. I've come close several times, but so far, no success. High sanctioned game is a 299 and high series is a 792. Oh well, some day...

I just started playing golf about a year and a half ago. I'm just a hacker so there's nothing to talk about concerning my game. I don't play or practice often enough, but I enjoy being out on the course. I'll probably be 100 years old before I sort of figure out golf...
