>Does anyone else on the list like Fiona Apple?
She's great. Her first album was recorded when she was young (17?
19?). I was amazed by that because her music has the kind of 'soul'
(lyrics, emotion) that I've heard only from those musicians who have
had large life-altering emotional experiences. (Perhaps she did,
only earlier than the rest of us.)
>I have really strange musical tastes -- I changed out the CDs in my

>Brothers to Russian pop music.
I bought some more Bratsch when I was in France last week... (my favorite
band for the last few years)

-------
"Dear Listener of Happy Rhodes music,
I'm writing to you to let you know that Happy is planning a tour in
support of her upcoming CD. A large part of this tour will be in the form of
House Concerts.
For those who might not know, a house concert is a show that is given in
an individual's home. Folks who want to host a house concert, book it with
the performer and provide a cleared and preferably large room, where people
can comfortably watch a private performance from their favorite artists.
Usually, 100% of the proceeds go to the artist, assuming there are no
expenses for the homeowner."

>So I'm probably just strange.
We could have an eclectic music tastes contest. I have not met
someone who has as strange (OK, eclectic) as me ...
