My name is Daniel Baker and I am your host on this web site, I am a right brain left brain Gemini who is a unashamed Beatle and Chet Baker fan, and who has enjoyed the works of both William Shakespeare and Charles Bukowski. My favorite films include "Wall Street", "Barfly", "Godfather I and II", "Deerhunter", "A Hard Days Night", "Dirty Harry", "Sound of Music" and "Wedding Crashers". I am a music afficionado whose tastes range from "British Invasion" to Soul with Surf, jazz, classic rock, popular vocals and opera thrown in the mix. To express my love for music I dabble with the guitar and the trumpet much to chagrin of those blessed with perfect pitch.  

I am both amused and disturbed by the hypocrisy and greed that permeate the political, business, social and sexual climates in such a profound and chilling way in today's world. The voice of reason that screams for fairness, reasonableness, kindness and the desire to be loved in the moment is falling on ears rendered deaf by technology, competition and self-absorption.   

Societal change is on the horizon ... its also time for the re-birth of personal empathy, manners and the joy of living and loving in the moment and giving your undivided attention to your guest, friend, family, loved one or lover and forward your cell phone or IPhone to message service. Let's get back to caring for someone else's feelings and come home from the ego trip we have all have been on.
