My Musical Influences

My musical tastes have grown increasingly eclectic over the years, to the point where I think I have something in my combined collection of LPs and CDs to offend every taste (including my own). My collection of vinyl LPs occupies 7 to 8 feet of shelf space, and the CD collection is catching up quickly. Don’t even ask about my iPod…
