    What about Wagner? Apart from his rampant anti-Semitic attitude and the incorporation of it into most of his works, I think his dynamic style and use of instrumentation, especially brass, was pretty revolutionary.

    I think I need a replacement EDC flashlight. My 3yr old Fenix LD10, no longer will run in Turbo or Strobe modes, even with a brand new battery.

    Should I stick with AA or bump up to a CR123 model?

    Keep several cans of chick peas on hand, then toss in blender/foodprocessor/whatever when you have a craving. Add a few other ingredients and bam, homemade hummus. My wife used to make it all the time.

    Most modern epic movie soundtracks are re iterations of Tchaikovsky and Wagner, and I enjoy the dynamic and emotional scores of a good soundtrack. Maybe Tchaikovsky and Wagner shouldn't be on your list, but I was interested in hearing your thoughts on them.

    Mmmm... iguana, definitely an animal I haven't eaten yet, can't wait!

    And thanks for the tip, heading down there in 4wks for a 1wk stay, so I'll get an idea before I live down there.

    Looking back I think I got stagnant after my first 4yrs. Went to college didn't play for a year. Went back to Hawaii and really got into it. Part of it probably due to depression.

    My favorite thing to do is figure songs out. Billy joel and Elton John songs are pretty rough.

    One day / night your minds eye will take over. You will not even realize it till you're finished . Like doing art, it comes to you without notice. One day struggling, next day you played without breaking a sweat.
