Music
My music tastes mostly span jazz, classic and progressive rock from the 1960s-90s (no, I am not a 65 year-old...).
I play the guitar, piano, and more recently, the flute. Jamming is always a pleasure. Please reach out to me if interested :)

Fun Fact: I am right-handed, but am a lefty guitarist!
