I play piano, guitar and ukulele. When I'm not playing music, I'm usually listening to music.
Other hobbies/interests: snorkel diving, boogie boarding, hiking, digital photography, growing herbs, tropical plants and fruit trees, vegetarian cooking, building and flying kites, pen pals, travel, language learning (Hawai'ian and Italian), growing orchids
Favorite music: I like most music but especially old American folk music (Bob Dylan, Gordon Lightfoot, James Taylor, Harry Chapin); music by Eric Clapton, Five for Fighting, Sister Hazel, James Blunt; folk music from different countries played on traditional instruments. I don't like rap by angry young people.

Wow, the flute got there fast. I bought it at a Native American festival, but sadly the Cherokee in me could not coax music from it. Maybe your nephew will have better luck with it:)
I'm sending you a handmade pin cushion. Can you please send me your address? Thanks
Glad you liked the fabrics I sent... sorry but I don't know where the dragonflies came from. Happy sewing! :)
