My family, which is my wife and daughter. My SCA Family, which is Clan Dana, a nice little SCA household that I run. It's great fun... History, I teach it for a living.... Gaming.. lots of gaming.. roleplaying, cards, board..love gaming... Sci-Fi/Fantasy.

My first love is Battlefield Band, if you don't know who they are our common ground on music might be kind of rough.... But they are a Scottish folk band, with bagpipes, and was on the cutting edge of adding new technology to folk (electric keyboard) back in the 70's. Still around and still great.... Beyond that, I like MacKeel, Wolfstone, Paisley Close, Tempest, Wicked Tinkers, Jolly Rogers, Flogging Molly, Molly's Revenge and lots more... I do a good chunk of the local music scene, I might have to copy and paste my blogs, they review music local and otherwise... I was a big fan of the Clarevoyants, but I like Whiskey Bards, Four for Naught (Allanah), Booya, Shay Veno, and whatever Jessica Leathers is doing.... (shes like in a million bands it seems) Besides Celtic folk and rock, I adore the Smashing Pumpkins, Garbage, and pretty much anything that is rock/punk... not hardcore mind you.. but its good stuff. Contact me about local music is Phx..cheers
