[edit] Books I have read

I have read more than 100 books so far, starting as far as I can think. English language books include Lord of the Flies (1991), portions of the bible (mostly during Sunday School lessons in 1989/1900) and of course school books during my exchange year.

[edit] Pictures I have studied

I have been always into arts, in late 2007 it became somewhat like a passion. I don't know why, maybe it's because of Wikimedia Commons usage.

Oil paintings I have studied

[edit] Music

I have learned to play the following instruments in the 1970s and 1980s: Recorder and piano (over 6 years, 4 years at Städtische Musikschule Braunschweig)/Spinet/electronic organ. Also, I like to sing (including one year in High School - The Madrigal singers of HRVHS impressed me at that time). I'm esp. gifted with rhythm.

My mother was a music teacher. My maternal grand grandfather was a professional organist in Wałbrzych, Lower Silesia (seems like I have partly inherited his genes^^.

My music style in passive means is all but country music. Nowadays, I do not prefer to listen to Heavy Metal anymore (1980s). Volkstümliche Musik is fine if I'm drunk^^.
