7 Things About Me

Benjamin of Bass Guitar Blog tagged me. The rules are:

• Link your original tagger(s), and list these rules on your blog.
• Share seven facts about yourself in the post – some random, some weird.
• Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs. Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs and/or Twitter.

I’m going to tag 7 people at the end. Feel free to not go along with this, I won’t mind a bit.

1. I never broke a toy as a kid. I’d always play it safe, if you will. All my toy soldiers, cars, lego sets used to look like new. Some of them never made it out of the box.
2. It was years before I discovered one of my favorite detective and sci-fi novelist is actually renowned for filmmaking – Satyajit Ray.
3. I was 6 when I first saw a dog wearing glasses. It was in Liverpool, England.
4. I played a wedding once, for 55 minutes. Got paid $150. That was 8 years ago.
5. I lose weight when I stop going to the gym.  Happens over and over.
6. I’ve had gray hair since I was little. A couple when I started out. Curiously, some years one third of my hair turns gray but reverses back to mostly black. Don’t believe me if you don’t want to.
7. I used to believe everything was black and white – the world, that is – before they invented color photography – in the 80s! 

I’m tagging Classical Guitar Blog, Guitar Flame, Building the Ergonomic Guitar, Guitar Noize, Slidetone, The Plugg, and Fretbase.
