1) What is the first song you remember from your childhood?
tough to say. there was always music in my day to day life - Mom played the piano, there was always music playing around the house or in the car, everyone liked to sing along with whatever they were playing. when i was little my three siblings were still in the house but old enough to have their own music, so i was exposed to five different tastes in music.
i guess i'll say Bushel and a Peck because i definitely remember mom singing it to me when i was small enough to be rocked to sleep.
2) What is the first music you purchased with your own money?
pretty sure that was a cassette tape of Sports by Huey Lewis and the News. that's the one that had a bunch of hits, including I Want a New Drug.
3) What's a piece of music that you know by heart?
no, there is too much.
let's go with The Gambler. my dad had an 8-track of Kenny Rogers' Greatest Hits and we used to sing along in the car all the time.
4) What's a song that makes you turn off the music right away?
...i don't have that like i used to. i used to hate stuff that got overplayed, but the days of being unable to control what music is playing are over - i don't listen to commercial radio, i don't work retail, and i'm not stage managing musicals.
that said, i usually don't like to hear anything by Chicago.
5) And why?
there's something about Chicago's use of brass combined with Peter Cetera's voice that really sets my teeth on edge. there are certain tenor sounds that i just hate - Peter Cetera, Geddy Lee*...where i love the sound of Sting and Robert Plant. and i really like ska brass and the Blues Brothers.
but fuck Chicago.
*it has been a recurring minor conflict in my romantic life that i am largely unable to enjoy Rush because i hate the sound of the vocals. but apparently "likes Rush" is my type.

oops.

I tell our dear friend who loves them, "There were two types of kids in high school. Those who listened to Rush, and those who got laid."
