I read whatever sounds interesting. I enjoy books on other cultures and I like historical biographies. I don’t particularly enjoy historical fiction because a lot of people take too much as factual. (This was my biggest complaint when The Greatest Showman came out and everyone was suddenly an...

I recently finished Batman: Damned. It was pretty dark, even for a Batman story and exists out of DC continuity. Some characters are treated differently, with different abilities (Deadman can only possess people for a short time, for instance) but it was good. It had a hell of a twist and I...

I’m sure it’s going to be great. I’m excited to start recording videos with it whenever it comes!

My wife collects Sherlock Holmes pastiches and I try to find Holmes books in other written languages whenever I’m somewhere that that’s a thing. She has a fun collection of French, German, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and… want to say Indian but can’t remember for certain (it’s been a few years)...

Thank you for the kind words! I had been after the mahogany/spruce for a couple of years and a good soul on here eventually offered one up when I had the money to get it. I loved it so much that it made me think I was done looking for my go-to tenor with the GIANT exception being fulfilling a...
