Mark Adams - A Maniacal Introduction;

Aside my love of single malts, I am an operatic tenor, freelance singer and conductor, cantor, and a concerts promoter (classical music). I was always around music while growing up, but it was while living in Alaska (my high school years) that I decided to get serious about singing. I have worked some at logging, during which time I was living on a float-camp anchored to an unnamed island two miles away from the nearest settlement, a Native American Indian village called Hydaburg (pop. 200), which was a 'dry town' - no alcoholic beverages were to be sold or consumed.

I really should be grateful that I experienced my first 'dry town' before I knew anything at all about single malts.
Thankfully, the San Francisco Bay Area has some decent shops which cater to single malt consumption.
