Martin Dougherty’s Interests:
A real palm and cycad enthusiast with a strong interest in garden and the environment. I have an extensive collection of palms, cycads, and flowers in the backyard with an open invitation via flowers and plants to attract birds and flowers. Another special hobby is listening and collecting oldies, or, doo wop as some people like to call the music from the 50's and 60's. Check out my oldies or stop by doowopradio4u.com and tell them Marty sent you. Great music streaming most of the day with dj's at night.
