Formerly rock climbing until I got a beer gut. Now I like oysters and I like to pick out bathroom fixtures.
Lloyd Loar and the rest of my in-laws.
Tony Rice and everyone else in the Unit, but there's not hardly any bluegrass I don't love. The list is too long. Of course, Gris, Thile, Matt Flinner and Evan Marshall. Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Lyle Lovett, Pat Green and Willie. Basically, the whole Texas singer/songwriter gang. Dave Alvin is one of my latest faves. Darrell Scott is one of my all-time faves. Jorma, Don Williams, Don Edwards, Neil Young. My rock roots have faded some into old age, but I still have much adoration for Jeff Buckley, Daniel Lanois, Jon Spencer, the Church and the White Stripes. Any southern rock - Allman Bros., Blackfoot, MTB, Molly Hatchet. (Jesus, this is hard) I love the Latin vibes - Buena Vista Social Club, Joao Gilberto, Gil Gilberto, The Latin Pimps and any authentic Salsa.
I can't talk about this here. It's restricted.
I have about 10 of them in my office and a couple at home, but I'd rather be outside. Oh...you mean what shows do I like? Anything with commercials in it. (CORPORATE LOGO HERE)
