13. please include anything else you feel is important that would help your secret santa know what you would like. I'm learning to play clawhammer banjo, I have 2 black cats.

I'd love to have something related to where you live or the music you do. I don't generally follow singer/songwriters, but if you are one I'd love to have your recording.

Negative – I can't stand coconut.

Santa promised me a tree last year, but never delivered.
