Genealogy, never can tell what you're going to turn up. I like to hike in the desert. Listen to good bluegrass, Cajun and traditional music from any country.
Hardcore Bluegrass is my number one favorite, Ralph Stanley, Rhonda Vincent, Lester Flatt&;Earl Scruggs, Bill Monroe, etc, then Cajun, Nortenos, Ranchera, Cumbia, Jibara from Puerto Rico and some Reggaeton. I like any music that's from the heart and soul of any country Favorite TV
LA/18 I like to watch the Mandarin and Korean soaps. Yes, I know I'm off the hook. I watch Spanish once in a while, too.
