Well, I just don't know. I suppose I'd just like to meet all of you. Why the heck not?!?
My goodness, I don't know...I like all types of music, and more often than not, am introduced to new music by family and friends. If I had to pick favorites, I love Zazie, Sheryl Crow, Sinead Lohan, Coldplay, Frou Frou, Suzanne Vega, Sarah McLachlan, Loreena McKennitt, Michael Penn, Sting, Evanescence, Mylene Farmer, Diana Krall, Chet Baker, Nat King Cole, and lots of older artists--at least the ones I grew up with! I'm also a sucker for love songs of all kinds, it doesn't matter what period. I think the most important thing about me is my complete attachment to song lyrics. It truly is one of the most important component's of modern music for me. Maybe that's because I'm a bit of a writer, and always will be. Or maybe it's because I know that it draws out the meaning in all of us.
