Bought up in an art colony by the beatnik subculture on Chicago's North side with an unorthodox English /Jewish step-mother. Fortunate to be the son of an internationally known fine artist remembered for his monumental sculptures. Truly a great period that was unconventional with exotic philosophizing & extreme self-expression.

Considered a BLUES aficionado since the 7Th grade. Admiration for this emotional, raw, sensitive, expressive music art form is due to its RHYTHM OF THE HEART letting us know we are not alone in our experiences. For example...
"You're evil when you're with me babe & you are jealous when we're far..." BB King
"My babe don't stand no cheatin'...she don't stand none of that midnight creepin'..." Little Walter
"Nine below zero out on the outside & my baby brought my temperature up to 110'..." Sonny Boy Williamson II
With this genre as a preference all compassionate music is appreciated.

Desiring a loyal, honest relationship with a nurturing, spiritual, passionate female who respects nature, art, & has a sense of humor. A woman with a healthy mind, body, & spirit. Your word & being responsible are paramount. One who celebrates her own existence & stays in the NOW.
