My intention is to present myself and some of the things that I am interested in. Maybe there will be some netwise discussions later on.

My hobbies

* Music

I am a bass player, very dedicated to the bass, particularly older (pre-CBS) ones. I consider myself as a playing collector (they should be played, should'nt they). My influences are of course because of my age, in the 70's- 80's fusion genre. My axes are a -62 Fiesta Red Jazz Bass (serial no: 75672) and a -63 Sunburst Precision Bass (serial no: L03098).

They are marvelous!

Listen to a tune recorded during an evening, playing around with a Porta Studio and a Roland Drummachine? In the background my Jazz Bass and as lead bass my Yamaha TRB6P. This was actually a first take improvisation after the background was made.

* Karting

Since a couple of years ago, I'm totally lost to the world of karting (should have started several years earlier).

My kart is a -97 Tecno with a -96 TT37 rotary valve engine, producing about 27 hp at 18000 rpm. I hope this will be a killer combination in the upcoming racing season. Since I'm a science and technology freak, the challenge of getting a two stroke engine in tune, suits me perfectly.

* Flying

I have a Private Pilot Licence issued Nov -79. My accumulated flight time is about 700 h, including a lot of parachutist dropping and towing of gliders.

I am checked out on the following A/C types:

   -- Cessna 207, 182, 177, 172, and 150,

   -- Rallye 180 T

   -- Pilatus Britten Norman Islander (twin)

   -- MFI 9B (Small Swedish trainer, 2-seater)

I have also have the great luck to have flown the J32B Lansen

and the Sk35C Draken, only from the back seat though.

Nowadays there is not very much flying (more karting) but I intend to keep my licence alive and wait for the inspiration to come across.
