resume filler
I am familiar with African traditional & pop, blues, reggae, folk, French Canadian, cajun, zydeco,
Texas swing, big band, pop & jazz from the 1890's on, Swedish, Hawaiian, Andean, traditional and
pop music from around the world, Irish, British, Scottish, Celtic, non-mainstream rock/pop. I have
also catalogged hundreds of personal tapes with the aim of having a resource of good music, clever
sound bites, comedy bits, found moments, etc.

My interests in music are far-ranging including traditional and pop from around the world,
avant-garde/experimental/minimalist and classical although it has been awhile since I followed it. I am
a big fan of radio and listen to WFUV and WFMU extensively. At work I have used various professional video and audiotape formats and the associated equipment, including: 1", Betacam, 3/4", VHS, D-2 (digital)
video and 32 to 2 track audio tapes, both digital and analog. I am also computer savvy having customized two Nesbit Systems (DOS under Windows 3.1) at work, over the past 10 years and am currently on my second Macintosh for personal use. I am also somewhat familiar with AS/400 and mainframe computer environments.
