not a great player just a lover of the game ... have turned some of that love toward collecting chess sets but i'm always working thru chess books and have a particular love of openings work (Ruy Lopez, Najdorf, Dragon, and the Rossolimo in the Sicilian field, and King's Indian Defense are among my favorites) ... not a great otb player and a terrible blitz player ... the slower the better lol ... aside from that, i'm a big reader (Cormac McCarthy should win the Nobel Prize imho), a guitarist who played professionally thru the '80s but now play just for fun, and a big music fan as well and a collector of bootlegs concerts esp Led Zeppelin, the Who, Hendrix, Canned Heat, The Clash, Black Sabbath, Cream, etc ... huge blues fan esp Delta (Blind Lemon Jefferson my personal fave) and Chicago (with Howlin' Wolf and his guitarist Hubert Sumlin at the top of my list) ... also have a particular affinity for blind bluesmen ...
