Favorite Artists

kate bush
amazing arrangements, deeply emotional landscapes, unusual lyrics and phrasing

patsy cline
sublime timing and rhythm!

billy holiday
boy, could she swing, and even high on heroin!...crzy

madonna
even though she is immensely popular in life..i think she will be revered even more so in the far, distant future..she is an intense,deep artist with a dark side that she exploits in a pop context with unimaginable commerical success..which is truly brilliant and almost an oxymoron

elvis presley
who taught that southern white boy how to move like that? i've NEVER seen a MAN move like that! Strange talent! incredible musical talent..makes it look soooooooo ezy!

Favorite Albums

The Police - Synchronicity
Wow...intellectual pop music with complex changes rules the charts...absolutely broke all the rules

beyonce - crazy in love
she is force of nature

kate bush - sensual world
deep and completely feminine without being frilly and flowery. powerful...totally original sounds, arrangements and vocal phrasing!
