General

I play the double bass; I practise a lot, so I hope to be a great bassist someday! I don't have any favourite double bass solos, but I love my teacher's work! 

I harbor a profound appreciation for the 1920s 1960s, the artistry of silent films, vintage menswear, classic music, and Old Hollywood films. 

I dress as nicely as I can, even if I’m just going to the store. For me, dressing in vintage clothes isn’t just about the look; it’s a way of life, one that has brought me joy over the last few months. It’s not just about the clothes; it’s about listening to the music, learning about the era, getting to know the culture, and so on. 

I love poetry and politics. (I'm a left-winger, a communist)
