1) What was the first song you remember hearing and enjoying on the radio?
I remember being a young'n in Pensacola FL, standing in my parents' bedroom, and hearing "Barracuda" by Heart. Not sure if I liked it at the time. Other than that...
2) If you could only listen to five CDs for a year, which five would they be? (Boxed sets can count as one CD. Sigh.)
- The Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd
- A Passion Play, Jethro Tull
- The Jethro Tull 25th Anniversary Box Set
- In the Flesh, Roger Waters
- Crossroads, Eric Clapton (I think, just to throw something different in the mix)
3) What was your favorite year, music-wise?
1994. That was the year of The Division Bell from Floyd and Antenna from ZZ Top. Saw concerts from both tours. Wearing the shirt from the Antenna show right now, actually.
4) If you could witness one historical music event through all time, what would you pick, and why?
Tossup between the following:
- Floyd touring in 1972, playing what would become The Dark Side of the Moon a year before it comes out on album
- Floyd during the 1977 tour where Animals and Wish You Were Here were played in entirety
- Floyd's reunion in London at the Live 8 shows. Watching them on TV didn't do it justice. I would have wanted to be there to feel the energy.
5) Do you have a song that never fails to cheer you up? What is it and why does it do that for you?
Quite a few, actually... to name a few:
"Ape Man," "Come Dancing," and "Sunny Afternoon" by the Kinks. They're just fun to listen to.
"Time", Pink Floyd. Still trying to nail the solo. Also "One of These Days," preferably the live version from the Division Bell tour.
"My Head's in Mississippi" and "Give It Up" from ZZ Top. Good road songs.
