Description

I'm 59, male, pale, and hale. :-)  I play trombone and write musical arrangements for Disneyland (my day gig) and other clients, and I'm working toward a masters degree in psychology from California Coast University.  I have been a professional musician since 1964, a Randian since 1966, a Libertarian since 1970, and a proponent of personality type theory since 1988. I'm happily married to my college sweetheart, and I have 5 children (one with my present wife). Unlike those lucky (?) enough to live in the cauldron of Objectivist lecture venues, I grew up in Iowa where the Split meant an ice cream dessert with bananas and whipped cream.  :-) Please feel free to write me at REBissell@aol.com  And please read my essay "Art as Microcosm: the Real Meaning of the Objectivist Concept of Art," which appears in the Spring 2004 (Vol. 5, No. 2) issue of The Journal of Ayn Rand Studies.
