Willy the Shake-
I am firmly planted in the old hippie thing (sans the Dead and stuff
like that), but I LOVE ze women. Paula Cole, Tori Amos, Sarah Mac, Joan
Armatrading, Stevie Nicks, many more. I love Yes, King Crimson and that
whole genre ALOT. Beatles is the cornerstone of my musical foundation
(besides ze Joni Mitchell). Jazz is so cool and so wide like, Miles, Pat
Metheny, Yellowjackets, Michael Franks, McLaughlin, SO many more. New
Orleans music plays a HUGE roll in my life now mostly because I have
produced so many projects here (I had my first session tonight on a
Childrens Album with a local singer songwriter). I think if you look up
musicslut in the dictionary my picture is featured there along with quite a
few others on this very list. And a very happy music filled weekend to you
and all JMDL folk everywhere.
Love
Paz
