Just Two Lost Souls Living In A Fish Bowl - Comet - 31-12-2011
Greetings, Earthlings. A pleasure to meet you fine folks. I am new around these parts and anticipate getting to know each and every one of you and chat about some music.
I am sixty-three years old, live in Cocoa Beach, Florida, a recent widow, have five children and fifteen grandchildren. Some of my many interests are astronomy, astrophysics, sports, politics, history, film noirs and movies in general, fishing, the ocean and inhabitants, reading, traveling, poetry, classical literature and much more.
Then there is the music.
I am a huge music lover. My favorite genre of all-time is classical. I also am a huge fan of jazz, blues, classic rock, country, oldies, Motown and folk.
