Inquiring Minds Might Want To Know:

My tastes in music are eclectic to say the least, although I do tend to lean toward blues- and jazz-influenced music. Also, as a fair heads up, I don’t have any formal music training, save just enough piano and guitar lessons to have an immense respect for those who play well. I just try to write about what I like and what I think you should hear. That said, I hope you enjoy what you hear and find something new.

My Favorites:

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had at least 3 books of CDs floating around, and one of them has always had my favorites in it for easy access. Sometimes albums will come and go from that book as I go through phases, but there are a select few that have been in that book from the day I got them, and those are the albums on this list. If you want to get a feel for my taste in music, this is about the best guideline I can give you. Don’t think this list is exclusive, though, a lot of things I do truly enjoy may not be represented as well as I would like. As Brad Nowell said, “Good music is good music and that should be enough for anyone.”
