FAVORITE MUSIC: all over the place. The 3 waves of ska, including latin ska, afropop & any poly-rythmic source music, any kind of roots-modern fusion, merengue, topical "folk", rockabilly & trash, weird western (ala Terry Allen) and ballad (John Hiatt), Brazilian (samba, mangue beat, afro-brazilian), old-school hip-hop, Rockero, R&B, 60's jazz (not big band), Mediterranean arabic fusion, contemporary swing, calypso, steel band, blues, mo-town, Puccini opera. Cut my teeth on Lightnin' Hopkins, Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson & Clifton Chenier live in my 'hood, Fifth Ward.
... it's such a big world!
