I have been tagged to write a MeMe by Alan Langstone, so here goes...

1. Who's your favorite musical artist?

I can't give a simple answer to that question because I love music, in fact there is very little I don't like. I guess my favorites would be in the Rock category Led Zeppelin, Queen, Dire Straits, Supertramp, UB40, Greenday. I love classical Mozart and Vivaldi, Crooners like Frank Sinatra, Elvis, and Ella Fitzgerald. Mostly I love anything with a good beat and great lyrics.

2. Who is your favorite artist?

Christopher Lewis, photographer, sculpter and graphic designer. He is a very talented individual and I am immensely proud of his work as he is my brother, I have some beautiful carvings he has done of Birds of Prey.

3. Who is your favorite blogger? Anyone with something interesting to say.

4. If you could meet anyone (alive or dead), who would it be and what is the most interesting thing about them? Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders, I love their brilliant sense of humor and comedy writing.

5. What did you want to be when you grew up? I'll let you know when I get there. Actually according to my Mum, I wanted to be a, wait for it.....Nun. Now I know all that know me are picking themselves up off the floor, but I thought how cool it would be to be able to fly or to sing in Austrian Alps!!

6. What is the most interesting piece of trivia you know? Now this is a tough one, I don't think of anything I know as being trivial!! Just kidding. Okay I've got one, It was the English that first invented sealing wine bottles, they imported the cork from Spain and Portugal and specifically it was from the "Cork Oak". The First patented "Corkscrew" was as follows. Patent No 2061 granted to Samuel Henshall, Princes Street, Parish of Christchurch, Middlesex, on August 24, 1795 The French did not patent their first corkscrew until 1828. Bet you did not know that!!!

7. If you could live in any point of history, what would it be and why?

During the roaring twenties, I loved the clothes, the music and the cars.

8. What is the most interesting job you have ever held? I was a BlueCoat in the UK. Now I know most Americans have not a clue what a BlueCoat is, no it is not a kind of Redcoat, although we do have those as well, it is a holiday entertainer!! I worked in a holiday camp and entertained the guests, we put on shows, called bingo and ballroom danced with the campers!! Held Knobbley Knees and Talent contests, Donkey Derby's and all sorts of other wild and crazy fun things. We danced the Virginia Reel and hosted Wrestling matches (believe it or not they were fixed). I was only 17 and loved it, but that was a life time ago.

Now, as keeping with what I believe is tradition and in the words of Sonja would say...TAG.......YOU'RE IT! I have selected some else obvious targets to be MeMe!
