Music (naw...). My girlfriend Anne (the_rockstar_bassoonist). Women in general. Stuff. Plants. British Comedy. Mellotrons. Vintage keyboards in general.<br /><br />Moody Blues, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Miles Davis, Count Basie, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, Robin Trower, so forth. You get the idea.<br /><br />Efficieny: If it's not efficient it's probably going to piss me off.<br />Practical/realism: If it's not practical it's guaranteed to piss me off.<br /><br />Balance. I've developed this idea that if I see enough crazy things and get influence from all these catergories of things man has created over the years, I'll eventually either acheive an &quot;englightment&quot; in some sort of Eastern sense, or more realistically, be a very well adjusted person that is not so confused by the world anymore. That'd be nice.

Saving up for: $5000 (approx) Muramatsu GX professional flute. That's pure silver head joint, pure silver body, nickel-silver keys, offset G, split E, B foot. No C# trill key. I may or may not go with the extra heavy wall, if I do it's an extra $400.
