From my Dad—the same Dad who almost named me Electra for real—I inherited a love for folk music (Bob Dylan, Peter Paul & Mary, Johnny Cash, Kris Christopherson [sp?], Patsy Cline, bluegrass) and classic rock (Led Zeppelin [sp?], Doors, Santana, the old Chicago [as in "Saturday in the Park"], et al.).

From Good News Baptist Church and my Mom I inherited a love for the old hymns. Most recently she introduced me to Eva Cassidy.

My little brother introduced me to hip hop during its heyday in the '90s. (I have him to thank for introducing me to comic books too.)

When we were dating my husband introduced me to Van Halen (when David Lee Roth, Steve Vai, and Billy Shehan were with the band), King's X, Queen (I like their "It's a Kind of Magic" album best), and the Police/Sting. Now we listen to blues and jazz together—preferably live. When our families get together we get out the guitars and sing old John Denver, Harry Belafonte, and Jimmy Buffet songs. I think this is my father-in-law's influence.

Even though I was quite sheltered in the '80s (this was a self-imposed stage), I couldn't help liking Blondie, Pat Benatar, and Cindi Lauper. I never did learn to do the moonwalk though.

Favorite classical pieces include Beethoven's Ninth, Carmina Burana, Maria Callas' arias, Handel's Messiah (I'm a little burnt out on the Hallelujah chorus though), German Lieder, and Brahms' Requiem—I sang in a chorale that performed this and I got to stand right behind the harpist. I also like classical and jazz piano.

Best music for playing dominos and drinking ambrosia: Squirrel Nut Zippers.

Best music for feeling happy no matter what: Bossa Nova.

Best music for getting fired up to change the world: Sweet Honey in the Rock.

Best music for staying awake on a long road trip: 50 cent.

Most recently I've been listening to The Bad Plus (jazz trio), and The Be Good Tanyas (old-timey), and this creepy cool song called "Dracula's Wedding" by Outkast, thanks to Sir Mephistopheles.

Overall my top three favs are:
1. Bjørk
2. Chaka Khan
3. Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin (tie)

Peace,
Electra

That's interesting because I like Björk.

She might be related to Bjørk, though. Eyebrow

Just to let you know. Big Fat Jam is performing at O'Gara's Garage this coming Sunday, Oct. 14 at 8pm. They are being sponsored by Life Challenge and Doc is gonna be speaking about the historical facticity of Jesus in a Q&A type thing. The concert is from 8:00pm to 10:30pm.

For more info, call 651-487-0001. Come on out. I'll be there and I'd like to meet ya.

Bummer.....I only have e-mail access at work so I didn't get this message until today (Monday) so I missed the concert last night. I didn't look at the church bulletin yesterday, either. I was gonna look at it today, so I didn't see the info. about it in time. I hope Big Fat Jam will be playing again around here sometime. I had the biggest crush on Lance Dalby at Bethel! I guess he's married now, though, huh? Sad

After I heard them play at the New Union, I put a note in his Bethel mailbox with some money in it for two tapes of their music and he gave me the tapes - and my money back! He also gave me two posters of them, with a note on the back of one of them. He was so kind!
