some things I really like: 

Courtesy the Artists (Alex & Malik), 

The Studio Museum, 

niv Acosta (my co-conspirator), 

Gettysburg (basically grew up there), 

John Brown (was hanged on my ancestors' property in Charles Town, WV... yikes!)

and the music of the American Civil War 

particularly "Tenting Tonight" 

(which I sang as a solo at age twelve)
