More BS about me coming out in the paper,,,,, Same 'Ol Same 'Ol  the 
reporter 'seemed' intelligent enough......  guess not?  I didn't know i 
swayed when I played either,   I quote the "Harpsichord related" 
bits....   and i never named my instruments...

On the surface, architect Nicholas Bunning is almost as difficult to 
summarize as the neighborhood he lives in. A lover of Baroque 
music––“It wasn’t like rap, which is, like, all over the place”––and 
collector of vintage harpsichords and clavichords, he is also covered 
in tattoos, has a shaved head and earlobes that dangle with the holes 
of flesh plugs.

“I have, like, eleven harpsichords. I just love Baroque music,” he 
says. “Architecture and tattoos. Those are my three passions.”

A British expatriate, he speaks with a gentle lilt, peppering his 
speech with the occasional “cool” and “like” and “you know what I’m 
saying?” At one point during the evening, he sits in the drawing room 
before one of his most prized instruments, a Queen Elizabeth 
harpsichord (“Queen Mother” as Bunning calls it) and unleashes a 
beautiful jangling song, his compact and burly frame swaying gently 
with the inflections.
