Default OT: What are your other hobbies?
Posted By: JimB

Robert,
Ben was not a student of mine. Although I studied the history of Western phil as an undergrad, my research and teaching is all in Asian philosophy and primarily Indo-Tibetan Buddhist thought these days. I do have a small collection of antique Tibetan manuscripts and painted scrolls (thangkas).

DJ (OJ Collector),
Sounds like we have a similar passion for Jazz and Jazz on vinyl. Compared to my jazz guru, a friend named Greg who has about 3,000 jazz lps, I feel like a rookie, but compared to most I think I have a decent collection, including some rarities. My personal highlights are original pressings of both the 1st and 2nd Editions of John Coltrane's "Ascension" lp. Big Band Free Jazz - What more could you ask for?
