Bio: While books take priority with me I've been a music nut since I was 6. I'm never afraid to try out new things,so while my tastes are all over the place (let's put it this way: if it does NOT have a mezzo soprano or any auto-tune prominently featured chances are good I'll at least give it a fair,unbiased listen to) I have a special spot in my heart for free jazz, soul (not most of the garbage that passes for soul/r&b music lately. Thank God for people like Sharon Jones,St Paul & The Broken Bones & Leon Bridges) & weird-o music (ala NWW List).
Hobbies: Readin', Listenin', Cats, Cheesecake.
