fawsley. Wish I was a good dancer but am thankful for being able to play an instrument. Hate being put in boxes. Generally non-verbal (rarely listen to song lyrics and have only scant appreciation of poetry) but can write words OK. Studied Engineering, Physics, Geology & Chinese Civilisation at University but knew in my heart I wasn't cut out to be a scientist. Pragmatist approach to most things - dislike purists, wafflers and dry intellectualising. Like eccentrics, surrealist humour, red wine. Life is short and good friends are hard to find. Jazz does it for me because it satisfies the head, heart AND soul. But it can be really boring sometimes! Like any other kind of music, there's good and bad. But why do there have to be all these categories?
