hello: i am rather new to this. i am a kind and gentle man. i have been a guitarmaker/artist/teacher most of my adult life. a lady friend of mine told me that i might be a little off center to meet someone on the internet and real love comes from heaven on high. but as this old jewish woman told me: teach a man to fish he will become a drunk, give a man a deli he will feed half of brooklyn. someday i may take this to heart.

what i do is create things, some out of wood, some out of thin air. i am blessed enough to have talent and a multitude of friends. i'm not on a persuit for material things, this would take away from my work which is why i'm here.

i have been reading the personal ads from the london review of books. if only the internet could be so funny. so with this as a model, list your ten favorite albums and send them to me and i will sent you my favorite picks.i would like to know to know if there is anything worth keeping if we ever break up, practical forward thinking man that i am.

coffee is a good way to start. i really enjoy a good conversation
